Lemon Ginger Detox Concentrate
Who’s on a January cleanse/diet of some sort? Girl, I am with you! I had way to much fun in December (and regret nothing) but it’s time to reign it in and get serious about feeling good and shedding the few winter pounds that crept on. Let me introduce you to my little friend: the lemon ginger detox drink, in concentrate form. It’s a keeper ladies. Easy to make and effective!
WHY IS IT CALLED A DETOX DRINK?
Because lemon and ginger have amazing health benefiting properties. Just a few of them being: boosted immunity, alkalizes the body, flushes the lymph fluid, helps strengthen the immune system, and reduces bloat. What what?!?! Sign. Me. Up! Below is the super simple recipe you can make right now!
Once the concentrate is made, you can easily add it to a quart of cold water like suggested. A few other methods to enjoy the concentrate are to heat up a half cup of concentrate with one and a half cups of hot water and enjoy like a tea. One friend added turmeric and a bit of honey to it and gave a rave review.
I make my husband something similar when he’s down with anything respiratory related, except I add cinnamon to it as well for the anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties it possesses. Plus cinnamon tastes great in tea!
Lemon and Ginger Detox Drink
Stays good in fridge for one week. Use 1/2 cup of concentrate to one quart of water. Enjoy!

Along with drinking this detox concentrate daily, I’ve been adding a solid probiotic to my diet as it helps with maintaining and improving gut flora.
