Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the cinnamon to infuse into the water.
If using ground cinnamon, whisk occasionally to ensure it dissolves evenly.
Step 3: Strain (if needed)
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea into a mug to remove the cinnamon stick and ginger slice.
Step 4: Add Honey and Lemon
Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice until fully dissolved.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm and sip slowly to soothe your throat.
