🌿 Aloe Vera & Cinnamon Digestive Tonic
🧾 Ingredients (1 serving):
-
2 tbsp pure aloe vera gel or juice (inner leaf, food-grade)
-
1 cup warm (not hot) water or coconut water
-
1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon powder (true cinnamon is gentler and safer for daily use)
-
1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (optional, for extra digestive boost)
-
A pinch of sea salt or Himalayan pink salt (optional, for electrolyte support)
🥄 Optional Add-ins:
-
A few slices of fresh ginger or a pinch of ground ginger (for extra digestive warmth)
-
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (for anti-inflammatory properties)
-
A few drops of peppermint extract or a couple of fresh mint leaves
🧪 Instructions:
-
Warm the water gently until it’s just above room temperature (not hot—aloe loses its benefits when heated too much).
-
In a glass or jar, combine aloe vera, cinnamon, and sweetener (if using).
-
Stir in the warm water, lemon juice or ACV (if using), and salt.
-
Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
-
Let it sit for 2–3 minutes so the cinnamon settles slightly and flavors infuse.
-
Sip slowly on an empty stomach or after a meal.
