CONS

As with any coffee drink, it does contain caffeine, which may not be suitable for everyone.
Additionally, the added honey does increase the sugar content, so it may not be the best choice for those who are watching their sugar intake.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While the added honey does increase the sugar content, it also provides several health benefits. Honey contains antioxidants, can help soothe a sore throat, and has antimicrobial properties that can help fight off bacteria and viruses. Additionally, cinnamon has been linked to lowering blood sugar levels and reducing inflammation in the body.
