This simple infusion elevates the natural depth of raw honey with the comforting kick of cinnamon. The result? A smooth, golden bottle of goodness that’s perfect for drizzling on toast, stirring into coffee, pairing with cheese, or even adding to warm milk before bed.
Because we source honey from both our own hives and trusted local beekeepers, each bottle of cinnamon honey offers full flavor with clean-label confidence. It’s a pantry staple with a seasonal twist and a favorite among families, foodies, and folks who care about what goes into their bodies.
The Benefits Of Cinnamon Honey
Cinnamon honey isn’t just tasty, it’s packed with potential health perks that have made it a go-to in natural wellness circles. Both cinnamon and raw honey have been studied individually for their properties, and together, they form a naturally supportive combination. Here’s a closer look at the possible benefits of cinnamon honey:
May Support Blood Sugar Balance
Cinnamon is known for its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels, and when paired with raw honey, the combo might offer a sweet option for those seeking balance. While it’s not a cure or treatment, enjoying a small spoonful of cinnamon honey as part of a balanced lifestyle may provide a gentle assist. For a deeper dive, check out our full breakdown on the benefits of cinnamon honey for health.
Naturally Soothing For Throats
Warm honey and cinnamon are time-tested comfort ingredients for scratchy throats or seasonal discomfort. Many families reach for cinnamon honey for colds during the winter months, stirred into tea or taken straight off the spoon. The natural coating effect of honey and the gentle heat of cinnamon work together to bring soothing relief.
Rich In Antioxidants
Both cinnamon and honey contain antioxidants, which help fight oxidative stress in the body. These compounds can support general wellness and may play a role in long-term immune health. Choosing a raw, infused variety means you’re getting those benefits in a more natural, unprocessed form.
How To Make Cinnamon Honey At Home
Cinnamon honey can be made right in your kitchen with just two ingredients. This DIY method gives you a chance to enjoy natural sweetness with a personalized touch of spice. If you've ever wondered how to make cinnamon honey, here's the simple process:
Ingredients You'll Need
All you need is one cup of raw honey, one to two teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and a clean glass bottle with a tight lid. Ceylon cinnamon is often recommended for its mild and smooth flavor, especially when you're making this for everyday use.
Step-By-Step Instructions
In a small bowl, stir the ground cinnamon into the raw honey until it's fully blended. Pour the mixture into your bottle, seal it tightly, and let it sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours so the flavors can infuse. Give it a gentle shake before each use, since some settling may occur.
Using Cinnamon Sticks Instead
If you prefer a whole-spice infusion, place one or two cinnamon sticks directly into your bottle of raw honey. Let it steep for a few days in a cool, dry place, and you’ll get a milder flavor that builds over time.
A Few Tips To Keep In Mind
Always use raw, high-quality honey for the best results. Don’t give honey to infants under one year old, and store your infused bottle in a cool area away from sunlight to preserve both flavor and consistency.
Using Cinnamon Honey For Colds And Seasonal Wellness
Cinnamon honey is more than a sweet topping. It’s a cozy companion during cold weather and a simple, natural way to support comfort when you’re feeling under the weather. Many households turn to cinnamon honey for colds as part of their seasonal routine, and here’s why it continues to be a favorite:
Comfort For Sore Throats
The thick texture of raw honey coats the throat naturally, helping to ease dryness and irritation. When combined with cinnamon, which carries gentle warming properties, it creates a soothing blend that’s easy to stir into warm tea or take directly by the spoonful.
A Natural Alternative To Syrups
Many people reach for cinnamon honey instead of sugary cough syrups. It’s simple, easy to keep on hand, and made without artificial ingredients. Families who prefer clean-label options often find it to be a smart addition to their wellness cabinet.
Supports Daily Warm-Up Rituals
Whether it’s added to lemon water in the morning or mixed into herbal tea at night, cinnamon honey fits into everyday wellness habits. A small spoonful can bring both comfort and flavor, especially during cold, dry months when your body needs a little extra care.
