Apple cinnamon tea
To make this delicious tea, wash and chop one apple and keep it aside. In the meantime, take a vessel over medium flame and add in 2 cups of water. Then add in 3 tulsi leaves (basil leaves), then add in the chopped apples along with a 1 inch whole cinnamon. Brew this tea for sometime and once the flavour and pulp of apple is dissolved in the tea. Turn off the flame and strain the tea and then add in ½ a teaspoon of honey. The presence of minerals, vitamin C, K, B1 and antioxidants will give your body the right boost of immunity and the use of cinnamon and potassium in apple helps in thinning of the blood which helps in improving the blood pressure levels and prevents clogging up of arteries.
