If you are feeling weighed down and sluggish, it may be time for my secret detox drink, which can help cleanse your body and make you feel rejuvenated. For many years, I’ve added detox drinks to my health regime because as toxins leave my body, I feel clear-headed and energized. Plus, recipes like this one don’t require a blender or juicer, so they are simple and easily accessible.

This is a simple beverage recipe that takes only minutes to prepare and includes key ingredients for natural detoxification, including lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, ginger, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. It’s both refreshing and energizing, so give it a try today for the little boost we all need from time to time.

Why Drink the Secret Detox Drink?

It is nearly impossible to avoid the everyday chemicals that threaten your health, especially when they are hidden in our clothing, furniture, soaps and detergents. We are exposed to a lot of pollutants and dangerous chemicals in our foods.

If you want to avoid toxic overload that will leave you feeling fatigued, moody, bloated and achey, it’s a good idea to drink a lot of water to cleanse and purify your body.

Key Ingredients

My secret detox drink contains some of the best ingredients for detoxification. Apple cider vinegar has shown to improve your metabolism and digestive function, while working to cleanse your liver and lymphatic system.

Lemon juice has an alkaline effect on your body and helps to regulate your pH levels. Drinking lemon water, or adding it to your drinks and juices, can help to boost your energy levels, detoxify your body, keep skin glowing (thanks to vitamin C) and improve immune function.

Cinnamon, cayenne pepper and ginger contain therapeutic compounds that help to reduce inflammation, aid digestion and boost your metabolism, which is a helpful step toward weight loss. That’s why drinking ginger tea, for example, is so popular. It contains valuable compounds that boost your health and promote detoxification.

An optional ingredient for your detox drink is raw honey. I like to add raw honey to many of my health drinks and detox smoothie recipes because it’s a nutrient-dense natural sweetener. It adds a little sweetness to this drink while nourishing the body with antioxidants.

How to Make the Secret Detox Drink

Warming 12 to 16 ounces of water is the first step in making my secret drink.

All you have to do is add your ingredients. Adding apple cider vinegar to your warm water is a good way to start.

Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper and a dash of ground ginger and cinnamon.

The last two ingredients are lemon juice and raw local honey, which is optional, but will add a little bit of sweetness to your drink.

Your drink will be ready to enjoy when you stir it all together. It is possible to drink it at any temperature, but I prefer to have it when it is still warm.

I recommend drinking this drink three times a day for 20 minutes before meals to flush out toxins. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to cleanse your body and boost your energy, have this drink once a day before breakfast or lunch.
