- Pour water into a mug. Stir in raw honey until dissolved.
- Add lemon juice and cinnamon. Stir well.

Use only raw, unfiltered honey to preserve its enzymes and antioxidants. Avoid boiling water to prevent nutrient loss. You can adapt the recipe with herbal teas like chamomile for sleep, or green tea for a daytime boost.
