This is a cold-weather drink rather than a coffee replacement. It is caffeine free, warming, and it takes about fifteen minutes, most of that unattended.

Fresh ginger and a cinnamon stick get simmered rather than steeped, which matters more than it sounds: ginger is a woody root and it needs real heat and time to give anything up. Lemon juice and a splash of apple cider vinegar go in off the heat, and MCT Oil Powder blends in for fat and body.

The quarter teaspoon of raw honey is deliberate. It is under 2 g of sugar in the whole mug, which will not move anyone out of ketosis, and it rounds off the sharp edges.
