This gentle detox tea is crafted to support digestive health and promote natural cleansing of the colon. Using a blend of warm water, organic apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, and raw honey, it delivers a soothing yet invigorating tonic that helps flush toxins, stimulate metabolism, and balance gut flora.
Apple cider vinegar is known for its acetic acid content, which may aid digestion and support liver function. Lemon juice adds vitamin C and alkalizing properties, while honey offers antimicrobial benefits and a touch of natural sweetness. Together, these ingredients create a tea that’s not only functional but also pleasant to sip—especially first thing in the morning or before meals.
This tea is caffeine-free, gluten-free, and naturally low in calories. It’s ideal for those seeking a gentle daily detox, a digestive reset, or a wellness ritual that’s easy to maintain. Whether you’re starting a cleanse, recovering from indulgence, or simply nurturing your gut, this tea is a simple yet effective ally.
🧺 INGREDIENTS: (Yields 1 serving)
- 1 cup warm water (not boiling; around 120°F / 50°C)
- 2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar (with “mother”)
- Juice of 2 fresh lemons (about 2–3 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
👩🔬 INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Warm the Water
Heat the water until it’s warm but not boiling. Boiling water can degrade the beneficial enzymes in honey and apple cider vinegar, so aim for a gentle warmth that’s comfortable to sip.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a mug or glass jar, combine the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Add the Water
Pour the warm water over the mixture and stir again to blend. The tea should appear slightly cloudy with a golden hue and a citrusy aroma.
Step 4: Sip Slowly
Drink slowly on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning or 30 minutes before a meal. This allows the ingredients to activate digestion and support natural detoxification.
🌿 Tips & Variations:
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to stimulate circulation and metabolism.
- Cooling Version: Chill the tea and serve over ice with a lemon slice for a refreshing detox drink.
- Digestive Boost: Add a few slices of fresh ginger or a dash of cinnamon for extra gut support.
- Consistency Matters: For best results, drink daily for 7–10 days as part of a balanced wellness routine.
⚠️ Wellness Notes:
- Always use organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the “mother” for maximum benefits.
- If you’re new to ACV, start with 1 tablespoon and gradually increase to avoid stomach discomfort.
- Consult a healthcare provider if you have ulcers, acid reflux, or are on medication, as vinegar may interact with certain conditions.
