Ingredients

4 oz pomegranate juice (can replace with cranberry)
2 oz cinnamon tea (see Note 1 - syrup can also be used)
1 oz orange juice
½ oz maple syrup (optional - see Note 2)
⅓ cup soda water (for sparkling version - see Note 3)
Optional garnish - cinnamon sticks, pomegranate arils and/or dehydrated citrus.

Instructions

Add the pomegranate juice, cinnamon tea, orange juice and maple syrup to your shaker. Add a few cubes of ice, replace the lid and shake well.
Fill your glass halfway with ice and pour the mixture in.
If you’re making the sparkling version, top with soda water and stir gently. If you're making the still version, skip this step.
Garnish with your choice of cinnamon sticks, pomegranate arils and/or dehydrated citrus.

Notes

Note 1: I made the original version of this recipe with cinnamon tea, because I love the health benefits and it has zero sugar. You can replace this with 1 oz cinnamon syrup if you wish.

If you are using the tea, use 2 teabags and follow the packet instructions. You will have enough several cinnamon mocktails.

To make homemade cinnamon tea: break 2 cinnamon sticks into pieces and put them in a small saucepan with 1 cup water. Place over medium heat without the lid until the mixture is just simmering. Turn the heat to low, replace the lid and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, strain and place in the fridge to cool.

Note 2: the maple syrup can be replaced with with honey syrup or any other sweetener of your choice.

Note 3: this mocktail can be made still or sparkling. Just leave the soda water out if you wish!
