2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Place half the mixture in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour soup into a pitcher, and repeat with remaining mixture.
Taste and whisk in more cinnamon, honey or even lemon juice if desired. It should taste sweet and tart, with only a hint of cinnamon. Chill the soup until ready to serve.
