Yes—beetroot and cinnamon can make a flavorful homemade drink. Beetroot provides naturally occurring nitrates and antioxidants, while cinnamon adds warmth and flavor.
A simple version:
- 1 small cooked or raw beetroot, chopped
- 1 cup cold water
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Optional: a little honey for sweetness
Blend until smooth and strain if desired. Serve chilled.
One caution: this is a nutritious beverage, but claims that beetroot-and-cinnamon drinks “detox” the body, cure disease, or dramatically lower blood sugar or blood pressure should be treated skeptically. It’s best viewed as a tasty addition to an overall balanced diet.
