Ingredients You’ll Need
For this metabolism-boosting drink, you’ll need:
1 lemon (rich in vitamin C, aids digestion, and detoxifies)
1 teaspoon grated ginger (boosts metabolism and improves digestion)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (balances blood sugar and reduces cravings)
1 teaspoon honey (optional) (adds natural sweetness and soothes digestion)
2 cups hot water (helps absorb nutrients and improve circulation)
1 green tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose green tea (burns fat and boosts energy)
Step-by-Step Method to Prepare the Drink
Step 1: Boil the Water
Heat 2 cups of water until it reaches a simmer (not boiling). Boiling water can destroy some of the beneficial properties of green tea, so make sure it’s hot but not too hot (around 160-175°F or 70-80°C).
Step 2: Steep the Green Tea
Add 1 green tea bag (or 1 teaspoon loose green tea) into the hot water. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bag or strain the leaves.
Why green tea? Green tea is a powerful fat burner, thanks to its natural compounds called catechins. These help boost metabolism and enhance fat burning.
Step 3: Add Ginger & Cinnamon
