Ingredients (6)

• Cinnamon bark (40%) (safe) — Whole spice; warming, may help blunt blood-sugar spikes.
• Ginger Root (safe) — Whole spice with anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.
• Licorice Root (moderate) — Naturally sweet root; safe occasionally, but heavy daily intake can raise blood pressure.
• Sweet fennel seed (safe) — Whole seed; soothing, aids digestion.
• Cardamom pod (safe) — Whole aromatic spice, no downside in tea amounts.
• Vanilla flavour (5%) (moderate) — A natural flavouring rather than a whole-food ingredient; the only processed note here, but harmless at this level.
