It’s stupidly simple. Take a cinnamon stick (not the ground powder—that gets goopy). Drop it in a mug. Pour boiling water over it. Let it steep for 10 minutes.

Add a spoonful of honey. Honey is basically liquid gold for sore throats. If you’re feeling fancy, squeeze in some lemon. Vitamin C party in your cup.
Pro tip: smell it first. Just inhaling the steam clears your sinuses. It’s like aromatherapy, but cheaper than that crystal you bought at the mall.
The weird science part (but fun)
Cinnamon tea is a mucolytic. That’s a fancy word for “snot-buster.” It loosens all that gunk in your chest. Gross, but glorious when you can breathe again.
It also has anti-inflammatory powers. Your sore throat? It’s basically a tiny fire in your neck. Cinnamon is the firefighter. It shows up, kicks back, and says, “Not today, phlegm.”
Bonus: it might make you happier. Cinnamon scent is linked to better focus and mood. So you’ll be miserable with a cold, but at least you’ll be a focused, happy miserable person.
