Beautiful photos and a agreat post as usual! I hadn't thought of adding cinnamon sticks. i swear by the stuff!!! I basically stuff ALL the medicinal things in from my garden - fresh sage, thyme, oregano, parsley, rosemary - plus the indian spices, garlic, citrus, ACV etc - and raw honey. It's totally a fabulous, fabulous easy recipe and such a good tonic to have daily over winter! (plus, it's great for your digestion) - I swear by the stuff and wish everyone made it! It's so easy!
