Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often limit warming spices like nutmeg. The trace amount used here is likely tolerated. If you prefer to always avoid nutmeg, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
