My Morning Detox Drink 

http://lovelovething.com/

Ingredients

• juice of 1 lemon 
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses
• 2 teaspoons raw honey
• 1 drop lemon essential oil (optional, but great for detox, see notes)
• 1 drop OnGuard essential oil (optional, but great for immunity, see notes)
• 1/2 to 1 cup warm filtered water – just add as much as you wish. I usually do about 6 oz myself.
• 1 dash cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Warm your water on the stove, very briefly. You don’t want it to be hot, just warm.
2. While your water is warming on the stove, add all the ingredients except for the cayenne pepper to a glass, and stir to mix well.
3. Add warm water, and cayenne pepper. Stir, and drink slowly first thing in the morning.

Notes

I use a straw  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!) you can buy stainless straws that come with a brush for cleaning for around $8 /4 on amazon.com
