Who shouldn't drink it?

"There are a few contraindications for cinnamon," says Poon. "In high doses cinnamon can be toxic for the liver, so people who have liver disease may want to use caution. Like many things, there is little research on the effects of cinnamon on pregnant women, so that community would also likely want to avoid this beverage." She adds that if you are on medication or living with a diagnosed condition it's a good idea to check with you doctor first.

When is the best time to drink it?

"Many people say that drinking cinnamon water at night can help you lose weight. Others point to the Ayurvedic principle of drinking warming water first thing in the morning to encourage digestion. You could try either," says Poon.

How do you make it?

Thankfully, it's super easy to make cinnamon water. The only ingredients you need are a fresh stick of cinnamon and some H2O. "Boil a bit of water and then cool to a simmer. Drop in the cinnamon stick and let simmer until the water turns a deep brown, up to 10 minutes. Take the liquid off of the stove, remove the cinnamon stick and let cool," says Poon. Then, enjoy!
