I love thisdetox tea recipe because after incorporating it in my daily dietI noticed an improved digestion, amazing energy boost, glowing skin, healthier hair and even helped with weight loss and bad breath.
One of themain ingredients isApple Cider Vinegar (ACV) which have been spoken about more and more over the years. Some of the many other benefits include, weight loss, increasedenergy, suppressing hunger,boostsyour immune system, it can aid with digestive tract issues such as IBS...the list keeps going. This detox tea can be the number one most importantsteps to an overall much healthier you.

This is a good detox recipe. I do my own version of this. Just organic apple cider, cinnamon and honey, mix in a little jar and put a couple of tablespoons in the first glass of water you drink in the morning. Takes less space in the fridge.

Question for you. Do you think you could use lime juice or grapefruit juice instead of lemon? I am allergic to lemons but not limes or grapefruit, go figure. Another question is could you add it to green tea instead of water to boost up the antioxidant properties?

Hi LaDena, I haven't tried this recipe with limes or grapefruit, but If you allergic to lemons, them most certainly you should not use them. I don't see a problem adding the recipe with limes or grapefruit. The key in this recipe is ACV added to the mixture. I look forward to your thoughts and how it tasted once you add it to green tea instead of water and with added lime juice or grapefruit juice. I'm sure it will be a powerful healthy boost. Another recipe I may recommend is one of my favorite and simple - go to my site and type in search - Apple Cinnamon Detox Water. You may enjoy it too.

Good morning. I was wondering is it a 8-0z. glass before each meal plus one first thing in the morning and if there is any left over how long will it stay fresh in the frig.?Thanks in advance for a reply.Have a good day.

One glass a day each morning should be fantastic! No need to have before each meal. Make a big batch and store the tea in your fridge. Will last at least a week.

I just bought a bottle of mixture that tasted very similar. The cost is $3.99. It was good but had so much cayene pepper. I admit your recipe is way better...

Anything I can sub for cinnamon? (I'm allergic) Omitting it with only the cayenne seems like it wouldn't taste very good.

This seems like a lot of honey for this amount of fluid, what does it do for us physically?
Reply
Irina
HI Suzie, You can definitely try to reduce the amount of honey. I found it's best for this amount of fluid... not too sweet and not too sour. And balances our ACV and cayenne pepper....

Can this be made without honey? Just making sure the honey doesn’t have any detox benefit. I am not a fan of honey or sweet drinks. Thank you

Irina
The antimicrobial properties in honey helps in the detox process. But if you're not a fan of sweet drinks (me too btw) you can reduce the amount of honey in half. The drink will not be as sweet. But yes, try to make it without honey and let me know how you liked the drink... happy detoxing

Has anyone else noticed that once all the ingredients are combined, that it develops a goopy/snot-like consistency in the bottom of the bottle/mug? I’ve tried making this drink in larger quantities to shake, pour, nuke and I cannot avoid the ‘mother’ glob. This has occurred when making it fresh as well.

This is most likely from cayenne pepper.
You can actually strain if you don't like to see it. Works well !Reply

I just tried this and I have bad allergies and asthma. I was also looking to help the rest of my body. I’ve tried just one cup so far but I already feel my throat and sinuses feeling much better. I know the honey has anti inflammatory properties so I was hoping this would help. It really does and the taste is spicy but not sour. I really like your recipe. Thanks for sharing!

HI Julie, Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm so glad you found this DIY detox tea helpful. To reduce the spice, try to reduce the cayenne pepper. Add a bit of Sage if you like. I practice adding Sage and Turmeric to my tea lately. Feel better

Just made this today! Had my first glass and made my hubby one too. Been looking for a good detox tea and this one caught my eye. I made the whole batch and both him and I started with 6 oz each. Drank it warm. Very good and not strong at all. I like you use raw honey so it’s all natural sugars instead of processed like store bought honey. Gonna do three days on and one day off. 100% recommend this recipe.
How quickly did you notice a difference after drinking it?

HI Nicole. Thank you for your note. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I actually drink this tea every day. Lately, I started adding it to the lemon ginger tea. I absolutely love it. I feel great consuming it
