I recently came across a post outlining some of the benefits of honey when mixed with cinnamon.  I found this to be of great interest, as I have been consuming a bit more honey as of late due to it being the cold season.

Whenever I have a sore throat (or one of the girls does) I make a “tea” of the juice of one lemon, 1/2 cup honey and as much boiling water as I can fit into the teapot.  I will occasionally add some dried black currants, as they make it taste even better and give it a pretty pink color.

This post, however, outlines some other ways that honey is a great health food.  Combined with cinnamon powder and eaten daily seems to be a great cure for many different ailments.  This is good news!  Especially in these hard economic times.  Some examples are:

~ Make a paste of honey and cinnamon – eat it on your toast in the mornings to help with heart disease and lower your cholesterol.  I will be sharing this little tidbit with my husband!

~ Make a paste of honey and cinnamon and put it onto a pimple each night (washing it off in the morning) to extract the rot of the pimple.

~ 2 Tbsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp honey in a glass of lukewarm water will help remove infection from the bladder.

These are just a few of the great tips that are over at About Food 2 on the use of honey and cinnamon.  Check it out!
