Clementines with Cinnamon Syrup


I've been sick in bed the past few days and my body has been craving vitamin c. Matt brought home clementines last night and for a little extra flavor, I made a cinnamon syrup and poured it over top.  
What are your go-to foods when you're sick?


P.S. I used this to get this, and I'm loving it-- so perfect for sick days.

 Ingredients 
4 clementines, peeled and sliced, 1/2 cup water, about 4 tablespoons of sugar, 
1 cinnamon stick
Instructions 
Bring water, sugar, and cinnamon stick to a simmer and let heat for about two minutes, until the sugar is melted. Arrange the clementine slices in a bowl and pour the warm syrup over top. Let sit for about 20 minutes, and enjoy. Serves two.
