Master Cleanse Lemonade

A buddy of mine stayed with us recently and regaled me with stories of her cleansing – something I’ve only done with the aid of over-the-counter products purchased at Whole Foods.

And so, post-holiday hustle, bustle and bloat, I’ve decided to give it a go.

I’ve got about 2 hours in and already horrified by the quantity of expelled matter.

My morning started with a full liter filled with, as Woolverine put it, tepid salt water.

And that’s basically what it is. You mix 1 liter of room-temperature salt water with 1 tablespoon of sea salt. And then chug.  Not even 30  minutes later, there are results. And then again and again and again.

Once that process winds down, it’s on to the lemonade.

  • 7 tbsp lemon juice
  • 7 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 liter water

If you want more about the lemonade, the cleanse or anything else, check out The Master Cleanse.

    Oy! Are you still doing this? The whole lemonade thing? Or is it a one-time deal?

    Please tell me you feel better, at least. Seems like a whole lot of unpleasant, so I hope there's that refreshed feeling sometime after.
