    What? You consume exclusively this concoction?

    Dare say you would lose tonnes of weight if you did so!

    Nah. I think you're supposed to have a cup first thing in the morning, then again at night.

    If you soak cinnamon in hot water it congeals and gets a snot-like texture - so gross! I used to try adding a little cinnamon to my coffee for calorie-free flavor but I couldn't get past the weird slimy glob *shudders*

    That's why you add cinnamon to the grounds before you brew the coffee. All the taste, no weird glob.

    I actually did start doing that but then I got rid of my coffee maker and just started using the instant stuff so no more cinnamon lattes for me lol

    She is pretty hilarious. That yellow habanero is difficult to confuse for something else, although my ex did once confuse a red one for a tomato. I tried to warn her but I was too late. She couldn't talk for twenty minutes. Ouch/lol.

    Btw, if you eat peppers or something very spicy DO NOT DRINK WATER. All that does is irreversibly bind the capcaisin oils to your TRV nerve receptors (not actual taste receptors). Makes things worse, much worse.

    The thing to do is:
    - drink a shot of alcohol - this dilutes the oils and numbs the nerve bundles. (Other oily food may help too)
    - eat some salt - has a blocking effect
    - Eat bread - helps remove the oil from the tongue surface
    - Ice, as a last resort, it tends to make the agony duller but longer.

    Drinking water or water with sugar (that coke she swallows afterwards?) the worst thing you can do.

    (This half folk remedy message brought to you by - things my Mexican biologist mother taught me and had me test)

    Wash your hands with frothy soap, water alone - well, you'll see. Or not.

    Chocolate displaces the oils. My boyfriend swears habaneros clear up sickness... so everytime he starts getting sick, I'm off to the store for habaneros and chocolate bars. It seems to work for him.

    I have actually tried this, to no results. The honey sticks to your glass, cinnamon doesn't mix in, and it is just disgusting.

    yep. Tried it too, the cinnamon was a big ol gluggy blob. Total vomit worthy

    You're doing it wrong. Bring the water to a boil with a cinnamon stick, simmer to your desired tea strength (stronger tea tastes as if you've added chili to it.. amazing). Remove stick, add the honey, top with a tablespoon of finely chopped (but not ground) walnuts, they will float on top and a little bit of them will get into your mouth every time you take a sip.

    Holy crap! A reason to drink! Genius! :flowerforyou:

    I kid. Had no idea about alcohol helping, but I guess that makes sense - thanks for sharing...

    Now, off to find a ghost pepper... and get my vodka ready. :flushed:

    Stir the coffee with a cinnamon stick.

    Milk is what you need if you've eaten a chile that is too hot. Things like sour cream or crema Mexicana seem to work the best.

    Yes! "Brew" the cinnamon, don't mix it in after (Bleh, I learned that one right quick, lol). So, cinnamon goes in my coffee, and honey goes in my tea (the way I like it). It's sort like the picture, but I sure didn't lose weight doing it (I have been both "fat" and "thin" consuming those things).

    It's funny, yet sad, that silliness like this gets touted as "weight loss" secrets. Common sense tells us that these are ingredients many, many people consume all the time (people of all shapes and sizes). But, put them together in a cute little picture, and it's magically for "weight loss"? That's dumb.

    Yup, and if you use the pumpkin pie spice blend, you have pumpkin spice coffee all year round...no need for sweetened syrup!
