Hello everyone,

I totally forgot about this Mexican drink this great tea my mom used to make it for me when I was a young girl. It always made me feel good. It also has many benefits. Hope it helps you in many ways!!!

TEA OF OATMEAL, CINNAMON& HONEY

OATMEAL TEA

Ingredients 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

7 cups of mineral water

1 cup of whole oats

Pure honey of bees (quantity needed)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 Tsp vanilla

Preparation The first thing to do to prepare this slimming drink is to put the oatmeal in a bowl of water and let it soak all night.

The next day you should strain to reserve only oats and then rinse to remove enzyme inhibitors or anti-nutritive substances that are released during soaking. Then drain oats and place in a blender. Add honey, cinnamon and vanilla essence. Mix well until obtaining a homogeneous consistency Finally place in a jar with airtight seal and store in the refrigerator.

Good to help you sleep.

Its high fiber content serves to combat constipation and improve the functioning of the digestive system. It provides antioxidants such as polyphenols and beta-glucans, which fight against free radicals that cause cancer Serves to regulate blood sugar levels
Helps to fight against hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

As you can see this drink is very beneficial for health.

Dear Mary,

Thanks for sharing this wonderful Mexican recipe! I am a big fan of oats!

When you say whole oats, do you mean the small dried oat groat? Not the larger flakes, correct?

I can't wait to try this.

I am sorry Mama I always leave out something. The Oats I use are the old fashioned whole grain rolled oats. I use Quaker! Hope you love it. I do!

Peace and blessings,

Mary Martinez

Question: Feeling a little lost here, I assume the 7C water are for soaking, if so, do you mix any water into the homogeneous mixture to make it a drink or just drink it in its pasty form...also, can you give an idea as to the quantity of honey...thankyou!

Hi Jennifer. Yes, they are for soaking and then you give the oats a rinse after you strain them. Most likely I would not soak them again. I would add a 6-8 ounces of water to make this tea, then add sugar and cinnamon into it warm it up and drink!

Put as much honey as you want to taste. I use very little because I am prediabetic. Hope it makes sense now. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it.

Peace, blessings,

Mary Martinez

CORRECTION ON OATMEAL TEA

OATMEAL TEA ( the correct way)

How to make oatmeal tea

Put the liter of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. When it begins to boil add the 1 tbsp of oats or more if you like, (if you use more oats it will be more like cereal) and let boil for 3 minutes. After this time turn off the heat, cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Strain the resulting drink with the help of a sieve then add sugar or honey as you like and a tsp of cinnamon. Enjoy.
