Apple Cider Cocktail with Cinnamon

Apple Cider Cocktail with Cinnamon

Think twinkly lights, a cosy jumper and this in your glass. Bright, gently spiced and properly festive. Apple cider brings natural polyphenols that are being explored for cardiovascular support, including improved endothelial function in small trials. A cinnamon stick adds gentle warmth and there is emerging evidence that cinnamon can help lower fasting blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes, which is a nice extra in a festive drink.
