- 1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice (or hibiscus tea for a natural option)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (with the mother)

- Optional: ½ teaspoon honey (only if needed)
Instructions
- Heat the water until warm (not boiling).
- Add the cinnamon and let it steep for 5 minutes.
- Pour into a glass and add cranberry juice or hibiscus tea.
- Stir in lemon juice and apple cider vinegar.
- Add ice if you prefer it cold.

Method
Infusion method: warming the water helps release the cinnamon compounds and makes digestion easier before sleep.

Important Note
Claims like “lose 40 pounds in 4 weeks” are not medically realistic. This drink can support a healthy routine but is not a miracle solution.
