How can you go wrong with cinnamon? I went with this one for a few reasons:
1. I LOVE cinnamon!
2. I wanted something to drink other than the soda and milk I had in the fridge.
3. It was simple.
So, I took the advice of the blogger who pinned it in the first place and used 2 apples and cinnamon sticks. I used gala apples. The way I figured it was that granny smith are too sour, red delicious are to bland, so gala worked great for me.
You really do need to let it steep overnight. Otherwise, you drink half the pitcher trying to taste it. It does get stronger over a few days. I personally wouldn't reuse the apples. They were starting to turn brown after 4 days, and I'm just weird like that.
As for a detox drink, I couldn't say. Obviously it did me some good because I actually drank water! My grandmother will swear by the benefits of cinnamon though. She takes a cinnamon vitamin supplement daily. (Been trying to get me to for ages.)
Taste wise, if you love cinnamon it's great! Throw it together with the kids. They'll get a kick out of putting it all in the water and watching it float around when you pour it.
