Why Make Ginger Cinnamon Kratom Tea?
We first made this recipe on a cold, cloudy day in Colorado. We thought a warm fall drink would be the perfect pick-me-up, and we were right!
The Top Tree staff is somewhat divided in their tea preferences. Some love earthy, bitter flavors, and some just… don’t. Plain kratom tea is on the bitter side, so it helps to add bold and comforting flavors if you don’t like bitter tea.
We love making recipes that mask kratom’s naturally bitter flavor using flavor-packed herbs and spices. This cinnamon ginger kratom tea recipe definitely does the trick.
Plus, you get the added health benefits of cinnamon and ginger.
These additions really reduce the need to add in loads of sweetener as well.

Top Tree Tips:
*Add an acid (like lemon juice) increases the amount of alkaloids absorbed, i.e. the kratom tea benefits.
It didn’t taste exactly like chai to me, but it did have a nice “spiced” flavor. And—to be fair—the only chai I’ve ever had was a Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks, so I might not even know what true chai tastes like.
It reminded me a little of mulled wine, so I’m going to add a few cloves and star anise next time and see how that tastes. It also made my kitchen smell like a Christmas candle, which I loved!
