½ cinnamon stick, broken up
2 cm piece ginger, thinly sliced

Pinch of buchu or mint leaves (if you like it minty)
500 ml rice - or brazil nut milk
1 t ground cinnamon (optional)

Place the water and spices in a pot on the stove top over a low heat for approximately 1 hour to allow the spices to infuse into the water. Make a batch of brazil nut milk or use rice milk.
