Nutritional values
The delicious brew of aromatic spices really warms from the inside and boosts the metabolism. The pungency of ginger, cardamom and pepper makes all juices flow and - with regular consumption of spiced tea - pounds melt easier.
Milk and cinnamon go well together and unfold a naturally calming and relaxing effect. In addition, cinnamon can dampen the craving for sweets.
