Lemon Rooibos Detox Tea

Rooibos tea is high in an array of different antioxidants that may slow aging and help prevent disease. It also contains nine essential minerals, which can help optimize body function during detoxification. Try red rooibos or the unfermented “green” rooibos, which is even more healthful.

1 Tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup or honey
Juice of half a lemon, freshly squeezed
Pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste
1 cup (250 mL) rooibos tea, brewed

Stir maple syrup, lemon juice, and cayenne together in a cup. Fill with hot rooibos tea and enjoy first thing in the morning. Serves 1.
