Forget about questionable boxed detox products from the drugstore. Allow real, nourishing foods to support your body’s own natural cleansing processes. (Plus, this tart tea is way more visually appealing than a packet of capsules made from who knows what!) A combination of pure cranberry juice and freshly squeezed lemon help naturally flush the body, while vitamins and antioxidants provide immune system support.
This tea, which can be served warm or chilled, truly gets two pinkies up!
Ingredients
1/2 cup pure, cold-pressed cranberry juice, free of added sugar
1/2 cup cold, filtered water
Juice of one lemon
Optional: fresh mint sprig (for its digestive benefits and fresher flavor)
Directions
For warm tea: In small saucepan over medium heat, warm juice and water just under boiling (when warm to the touch). Pour into mug and add lemon juice and mint if using. Serve immediately.
For chilled tea: In blender, combine cranberry juice, lemon juice, water and 1/2 cup crushed ice. Pour into cold mason jar. Garnish with mint to serve.
