Korean Honey Cinnamon Punch
A healthy fresh cinnamon and ginger tonic, with enough honey to make it palatable! The Koreans are very much into their healthy teas and drinks.
I didn't actually get to try this on my trip, but apparently it is mostly sold steaming hot in the winter. I would prefer it cold which is how I have written the recipe, but by all means, make it hot for a great healthy tonic on a cold day.
The drink is normally served with red dates as a garnish and would you believe, pine nuts, which I didn't even know were used in Korean cuisine at all. We are serving this as part of our Honey Around the World cooking class for Australian Honey Month in May.
BENEFITS:
Cinnamon has been shown to potentially improve blood sugar control, lower inflammation levels, and boost brain function when consumed as part of a healthy diet.
Adding ginger to your diet can provide a range of benefits such as reducing inflammation, improving digestion, and aiding in weight loss. It also has antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. (So drink up)!
