This is the perfect go-to when I’m craving something
warm and sweet.
The lemon adds a vibrant tangyness,
the cinnamon brings out the sweetness in the lemon
and gives it a comforting, earthy aroma and
the ginger adds a kick of warmth and spicyness to the tongue and throat.
Also, it’s amazing for detoxing the body.
The benefits:
Lemon– alklaline (prevents illness + cancer) and cleanses the liver.
Cinnamon– revs up metabolism and digestion. Great for cleansing the blood and heart too – lowers blood pressure.
Turmeric– anti-bacterial, very cleansing and perfect for warding off winter colds.
Warm Water– helps maintain “fire” in the digestive system + warms up the body from the inside-out.
