For today, I don’t only choose sour fruit like pineapple, peach, orange, strawberry, grapefruit and kiwi but I also use cinnamon and ginger for originality. Moreover, I just knew that cinnamon is very good for health; it acts like other volatile oils and once had a reputation as a cure for colds and you can use for treating diarrhea and other problems of the digestive system.
However, you can adapt my recipe for your favorite food or some fruit which you can find in your refrigerator, up to you.
