DIY Home: Apple-Cinnamon Water
Want something low in calories, cool and refreshing, and that’s as easy to make as cutting up an apple? Try this Day Spa Apple-Cinnamon Water by Audrey at Lose Weight By Eating! Ok, I have to admit, I did NOT think this would work. Could an apple and a cinnamon stick really flavor an entire jug of water? Come on!
But everyone, I’m the one eating crow (US slang for eating my words) because this cold water really did taste strongly of apples and cinnamon! I love it! This drink only had to infuse for a few minutes and already the flavors were pronounced! I really recommend making this for yourself or your family. This Apple-Cinnamon Water is low in calories, uses some of her “metabolism-boosting” foods, and is really refreshing. This might be yet another kitchen staple of mine!

Yay! It is good! (I actually have to buy more cinnamon sticks today.)
Do you drink an entire pitcher each day? Also do you do this every day?
I could most definitely drink an entire pitcher each day!! But I don’t. I am gone from 9 to 5 for work everyday. While I am there, I drink tons of sparkling water—-almost 4-5 cups worth! (I like sparkling water because it’s a bit more fun and fancy than plain water.). When I am at home at night though, I like to drink the apple-cinnamon flavored water as a treat! Mmmm!
This is just lovely! Apple and cinnamon are one of my favourite flavour pairings. I have only infused water with lemon and mint, this looks and sounds great.
Oooh lemon and mint sounds divine, too. I think I might be bold today and make some sort of cherry water! (I have half a box that is close to being overripe!) Thanks for stopping in!
does it have to be a cinnamon stick? I have plenty of ground cinnamon so I was wondering if I could use some of that instead?
Hey Camille! I haven’t tried this, but from my cooking experiences, using ground cinnamon in drinks is a bit difficult because with every mouthful of water, you will also consume a mouthful of ground cinnamon! This means you will literally drink the cinnamon that should be infusing your water. You could certainly try this technique, though—let me know how it goes!
can I use cinnamon leaves instead of the cinnamon stick?
I read somewhere to put your ground cinnamon in a coffee filter and tie it shut tightly and drop it in your pitcher of water. I haven’t tried it yet but I just spend $7 on six cinnamon sticks so this is definately something I will do after I run out of cinnamon sticks.
I did the coffee filter thing with a zip tie…works great
Oh, what a great idea! Thanks for posting and letting everyone know!
Can u make this with ground cinnamon? If yes then how much do i use?
I’ve never made it with ground cinnamon, but that certainly would work to infuse the water! A cinnamon stick ground is about a teaspoon. As Lisa did above, try using a coffee filter and tie!
Just made my first pitcher, so excited to try it! My only concern is, because its a detox drink am I going to have to be around home for the first day or so until I’m used to it??
That depends–are you a regular water drinker? If you typically don’t drink too much water, I would stay around the house for the day. Just drinking water alone will help clear your system! The cinnamon simply works to control your insulin levels, which helps you avoid those sugar high and low from carbohydrates and sweets!
can I use this if Im pregnant?
sounds refreshing
