  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Servings: 2 glasses

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh aloe vera gel (from a properly washed and trimmed aloe leaf)
  • 1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or your preferred sweetener (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Directions

  1. Wash the aloe leaf under cool water to remove any residue.
  2. Slice off both spiny edges, then cut the leaf open lengthwise.
  3. Use a spoon to scoop out the clear inner gel. Avoid the yellowish part of the leaf, as it can be bitter.
  4. Place the aloe gel in a blender and blend for 10 to 15 seconds until smooth. Set aside.
  5. In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil. Add the cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes so the cinnamon can infuse its natural aroma and spice into the water.
  7. Remove the pot from heat and allow the cinnamon tea to cool slightly until warm but not hot.
  8. Pour the blended aloe gel into a pitcher or glass. Slowly add the warm cinnamon water, stirring gently to combine.
  9. Add honey or lemon juice if desired, then adjust sweetness and flavor to your preference.
  10. Serve warm for a comforting drink, or chill it for a refreshing, hydrating version.

Notes

  • If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended aloe mixture through a fine sieve before mixing with the cinnamon water.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, simmer the cinnamon stick for an extra 2 minutes.
  • To enhance circulation-friendly benefits, you may add a thin slice of fresh ginger while simmering the cinnamon.
  • Always rinse fresh aloe gel briefly before blending to remove any leftover bitterness.
  • This drink can be enjoyed once a day, either warm or chilled.
  • Store any extra drink in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, as aloe may settle at the bottom.
