Looking for a delicious way to support digestion before holiday dinners? This cozy Warm Apple-Cinnamon Digestive Spritzer blends seasonal flavors with herbs that naturally ease bloating, warm the stomach, and help your body break down heavy meals. Perfect for sipping before gatherings or enjoying after festive feasts to stay comfortable.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup apple juice (unsweetened)
• ½ cup warm water or sparkling water (if using warm sparkling, let it sit briefly to reduce fizz)
• 1 cinnamon stick (or ¼ tsp ground cinnamon)
• 2 thin slices of fresh ginger
• 1–2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
• 1 thin apple slice for garnish

Instructions:

1. Warm the apple juice in a small pot until lightly steaming.
2. Add ginger slices & cinnamon stick; let steep 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and honey.
4. Add warm water or warm sparkling water for a spritzer effect.
5. Pour into a mug or heat-safe glass and garnish with a fresh apple slice.

Why it works:

• Apple + cinnamon warm the digestive organs and reduce heaviness.
• Ginger ignites digestive fire and reduces bloating.
• Lemon helps break down fats and supports liver function.
• Warmth prevents “cold stomach” stagnation, helping food move more easily.

Holiday Tip
Sip this 20–30 minutes before meals to prime digestion — or enjoy it afterward to settle your stomach.
