1 to 2 tablespoons raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar

Pinch of cayenne pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, and black pepper
¼ teaspoon butterfly pea flower
Yerba mate tea

Instructions
1-Roll and juice lemons: Roll lemons firmly on the counter to maximize juice. Juice ½ to 2 lemons, straining seeds for smoothness.

3-Mix lemon juice, ginger, and apple cider vinegar: Combine with 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and optional honey or sweetener; stir until dissolved.
4-Add water: Pour 1 to 2 cups of warm or room temperature filtered water. Replace half the water with unsweetened seltzer if you prefer a sparkling version.
5-Incorporate optional boosters: Stir in optional cayenne pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, butterfly pea flower infusion, yerba mate tea, or camu camu powder for extra flavor and benefits.
6-Serve: Enjoy immediately, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning. Chill or serve over ice with fresh mint or lemon slices for an invigorating experience.
