Aloe Vera & Cinnamon Wellness Drink

Description

A refreshing, mildly spiced drink rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Aloe vera hydrates and detoxifies, while cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and supports circulation. This drink can help maintain healthy skin, eyes, and overall vitality.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel (from the leaf, inner clear part only)

  • 1 small cinnamon stick or ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 cup warm water

  • 1 tsp raw honey or stevia (optional)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for taste and vitamin C)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the aloe vera: Cut a leaf, remove the green rind, and scoop out the clear gel. Rinse it to remove any bitterness.

  2. Boil water with the cinnamon stick for 5 minutes (or mix ground cinnamon into warm water).

  3. Let it cool slightly, then add the aloe vera gel and lemon juice.

  4. Blend the mixture until smooth and slightly frothy.

  5. Strain (optional) and drink immediately on an empty stomach or before meals.

  • Can be enjoyed once daily or a few times per week.

  • Store leftover aloe gel in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
