Wheat Free Cinnamon Apple Tea
Warm, fragrant, and naturally soothing, this cinnamon apple tea is the kind of drink that makes a cold afternoon feel instantly cozier. Fresh apple slices and a Ceylon cinnamon stick simmer together until the water turns a gorgeous light amber, filling your kitchen with a scent that's better than any candle. A few coins of fresh ginger add a gentle heat, while honey rounds everything out with just enough sweetness. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the whole cup without overpowering the delicate spice. Every single ingredient here is inherently grain-free, so there's nothing to swap or second-guess — just pure, simple goodness in a mug. It's an especially lovely option when you want something warming and comforting but don't want to reach for a packaged tea blend with a long list of additives. Two mugs, one small pot, and about twenty minutes is all it takes.
