Cinnamon & Raw Honey Cold Fighter Recipe

I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

 

The cold season is upon us in Wisconsin and this two ingredient powerhouse should be a staple on your counter to knock out a cold before it gets a chance to get a hold of you or your family.

Cinnamon & Raw Honey Cold Fighter:
1 teaspoon of Raw Honey (antibacterial and antimicrobial properties)
1/4 teaspoon of ground Cinnamon (contains volatile oils that are antibacterial and anti fungal) 

Mix together and take one teaspoon with a glass of water two or three times a day as soon as you feel a cold starting to come on.

I mix a larger batch and keep it on the kitchen counter.  We take it by the spoonful and wash it down with a glass of water or mix it in our favorite cold fighting herbal tea.

 

These two simple ingredients seem to work wonder on a cold.

Local raw honey is best but if it's not available in your area you can buy raw honey here .  I use clear liquid raw honey in this mixture and not the creamy raw honey. 

Just a side note on the various forms of raw honey:

“The truth is, the creamy texture of honey does not imply any superiority in terms of quality or health benefits. Creamed honey is formed by blending a specific ratio of finely granulated honey and liquid honey. The mixture is then placed in cool storage to promote rapid granulation and produce a small crystal structure that results in a smooth creamy texture. The precisely controlled crystallisation process also lightens the color of honey (some creamed honey is white), but does not alter the taste or affect the nutritional value.
 
The only difference in cream and clear liquid honey is the form and texture, nothing more and nothing less.”

    You are not going to believe this, but I mix honey and cinnamon for my Ham Glaze! LOL! Maybe it will help everyone not spread any Holiday germs?

    This sounds so delicious! I usually make a cold fighter out of thyme leaves and flowers, honey, fresh root ginger, a squeeze of lemon and raw honey… Thank you for sharing, Marci!

Contentment in our walk as believers is learned, j Contentment in our walk as believers is learned, just as Paul learned it, so do we as we walk this walk with the Lord. It does not come naturally to us. We know deep down the secret to contentment is to keep our eyes on the Lord in every situation. ⁣

What does it look like to live a fruitful life in What does it look like to live a fruitful life in the empty nest years?  What do I do now? What does my day-to-day life look like?

"How much misery we would avoid if we permitted “the peace of Christ” to umpire in our hearts. How many words we would hold back if he were the arbitrator in our lives. How many sleepless nights we would forego if we did that. How the Church needs this too, “since as members of one body you were called to peace.”⁣

To be a peacemaker we need to be at peace with God. It starts here. We must no longer be God's enemy. God is the supreme peacemaker and now as his children, we should resemble our Father and be peacemakers.⁣
