Notes
- I use a straw (like this) to drink this drink, because I don’t want the acidic ingredients to hit my teeth. A straw is perfect for bypassing them! (Even though the lemon juice and ACV are acidic, when they are consumed by your body, they leave an alkaline ash, and are very, very beneficial to your health, so don’t fear using them!)
- Many times I end up heating my water too much – and adding a little cool water will easily make the right temp.
- I only recommend ingesting therapeutic grade essential oils. Click here to contact me for more information on these essential oils!
- Only use apple cider vinegar that is raw, unfiltered, and contains the “mother”. If it is bright orange and clear, it will not have the health benefits you are looking for!
- This drink has a strong taste – I love sour things so I don’t mind it at all. The sweetness of the molasses and honey definitely helps though.
- The cayenne leaves a bite, so be sure to add it at the end!
