Ingredients

1 tea bag

2 Cinnamon Sticks

2 Twigs Rosemary

1 Orange, sliced

 

  Directions 

Place all ingredients in a mug.  Pour boiling water over and steep covered* for ten minutes.

You don't have to use just tea.  Try it in your coffee (I use this *), hot chocolate, or any tea of your choice.  You could even try it for mulled cider.

Why Cinnamon - it is tradritionally used for aiding digestion like indigestion, gas, and cramping.  It is also great for tooth pain and reducing inflammation.

Why Rosemary - it is great for memory.  As well as being an anti-inflammatory.  It is also one of the strongest herbal antioxidants.  

*You should always cover your tea when you are steeping it to keep all the good stuff in.  You don't want it evaporating out as it steeps.
