Ginger-Cinnamon Tisane is a natural remedy for easing post-meal discomfort and supporting digestion. This simple, warm herbal tea is a delightful way to naturally soothe the digestive system and end a meal on a relaxing, healthful note.
Ginger, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, is particularly effective in calming an upset stomach and reducing bloating. Cinnamon, with its ability to balance blood sugar, adds another layer of digestive support, making it an ideal ingredient to enjoy after a meal. Fennel seeds—often used to relieve bloating and gas—and warming cloves bring additional benefits, creating a well-rounded blend for digestive health.

To get the most out of this tea, allow the ingredients to steep for at least 10 minutes. The longer they steep, the more concentrated the flavors and health benefits become. Freshly grated ginger offers the highest concentration of gingerol, its active compound, for maximum therapeutic effects.
For cinnamon, Ceylon is the best choice, as it not only provides a milder, sweeter taste but is also particularly effective for balancing blood sugar levels, making it the preferred variety over Cassia cinnamon. Serve the tea with a cinnamon stick for an added touch of flavor and visual appeal.
