Health and fertility benefits of 5-Spice on Ice
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Chinese 5-spice blend ( cloves, cinnamon, star anise, fennel, Sichuan peppercorns)

2 ounces spiced rum, such as Sailor Jerry or Captain Morgan Original Spiced
Splash fernet
Instructions
Mix 1 cup water with the sugar and 5-spice blend. Heat until dissolved. Strain and let cool.
