Are you sad? Are you limbs achy? Is your hair dry? Can you not run a 3 minute mile? Can't concentrate while playing pinochle? Do you have trouble knitting, juggling or tap dancing? Do you sometimes think about cookies and cakes? If so, then yes, I would agree that you are clearly in need of detox tea.

Well I don't know how well this detoxifies but I do know that it's delicious. I used just a tiny pinch of cayenne and otherwise prepared the tea as directed. Made to Best of 2010 Tag.

Thank you for sharing your recipe Impera_Magna. It was quick and easy to make, with ingredients that are always on hand. I added a large pinch of cayenne and used honey instead of maple syrup, as I was out. It worked well in this tasty tea.

I've been drinking this at work for the last few weeks instead of coffee. My skin has cleared up noticeably and I find I don't need the caffeine jolt in the morning to get me going. Even though it's lemon season now I don't always have one available, so I keep freshly squeezed lemon juice ice cubes in the freezer and just pop one into a mug and add hot water. I also use a packet of Splenda to take away the "pucker." If I have ginger root available I also add a sliver of that to the mug, and a nice dash of cayenne pepper, it really adds some zing to my morning. Thanks!

I used local organic honey in place of maple syrup partly because I didn't have any and also I prefer the taste of honey I think. I added a pinch cayenne. It wasn't really sweet or having much flavour then I added a tbs organic apple cider vinegar. That made it taste better to me and it is said to be healthy.
