Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon cinnamon tea
How do you make lemon cinnamon tea?
To make lemon cinnamon tea, steep a cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon in hot water, then add lemon to taste. Adding the lemon after steeping keeps its fresh citrus flavour more noticeable.
Does lemon cinnamon tea contain caffeine?
No, lemon cinnamon tea made with only lemon, cinnamon and water is naturally caffeine-free. A blend that also contains black or green tea can have caffeine, so check what is included if you are avoiding it.
Can lemon cinnamon tea help with weight loss?
No, lemon cinnamon tea does not cause weight loss by itself. Unsweetened, it can be a low-calorie alternative to sugary drinks, but lemon and cinnamon do not burn body fat.
Can you drink lemon cinnamon tea every day?
Yes, most people can enjoy lemon cinnamon tea regularly as a drink. If you use cassia cinnamon, avoid making it extremely concentrated or consuming large amounts, since cassia contains coumarin.
Does lemon cinnamon tea lower blood sugar?
Lemon cinnamon tea is not a proven way to lower blood sugar and cannot replace diabetes treatment. Cinnamon may affect blood sugar in some circumstances; if you have diabetes or take glucose-lowering medication, ask your clinician before relying on it regularly.
Is lemon cinnamon tea good for a sore throat?
Lemon cinnamon tea may temporarily soothe a sore throat because it is a warm drink, but it does not treat the cause. Seek medical advice for severe symptoms, trouble breathing, or a sore throat that does not improve.
Which cinnamon is best for lemon cinnamon tea?
Either Ceylon or cassia cinnamon works in lemon cinnamon tea. Ceylon cinnamon has much less coumarin than cassia, so it is a sensible choice if you drink cinnamon tea often.
Does hot water destroy the vitamin C in lemon cinnamon tea?
Some vitamin C can be lost with heat, so adding lemon after the cinnamon tea has steeped and cooled slightly helps preserve more of it. The tea is still mainly a refreshing drink, not a major vitamin source.
How long does homemade lemon cinnamon tea last in the fridge?
Homemade lemon cinnamon tea can be kept covered in the refrigerator, but it tastes freshest soon after preparation. Discard it if its smell or appearance changes, and avoid leaving it unrefrigerated for extended periods.
Can you drink lemon cinnamon tea cold?
Yes, lemon cinnamon tea can be served cold over ice. Brew the cinnamon first, let the tea cool, then add lemon; this makes a refreshing caffeine-free drink when no tea leaves are added.

What is Lemon cinnamon tea?
Lemon cinnamon tea is a simple infusion made by steeping cinnamon with lemon, rather than tea leaves. It can be prepared with a cinnamon stick and fresh lemon slices or juice, with the balance adjusted to taste. Recipes vary, and it is easy to make at home.
Serve it hot for a gently warming drink, or chill it with ice for a refreshing option. The citrus tang offsets cinnamon’s sweet, fragrant warmth. It is very light when unsweetened, with 3 kcal per 100 g. Enjoy it on its own or alongside breakfast and an afternoon snack; if you prefer a sweeter cup, add a little honey or another sweetener.
