Detox Water

Hello everyone!

Detox water have been popular among the social media lately. What is detox water? Detox water is just plain water that have been infused with fruits like lemon, calamansi lime or even cucumber and mint leaves. It brings so much benefit to us especially to those who wants clear skin and a healthy body as detox water get rid of toxins from our body. Detox tea can also be made instead of just plain detox water. I tried making them and honestly, I do feel some changes to my skin. It felt healthier and my stomach loves it too. It eases my stomach ache and made digestion a lot easier.

My version of the detox water. Kiwi+lemon+oranges! Yummm!

My favourite recipe of detox tea got to be from the ginger lemongrass detox tea. I will attach the recipe below if you want to try it!

You will need:

• 3 green tea bags
• 500ml of hot water
• 500ml of plain water
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 3-5 calamansi limes (add more if you love the sourness of calamansi)
• 2 cups of ice cubes

To make the herbal syrup, you will need:

• 2 sticks of lemongrass (the white part only, pounded and sliced)
• 2-inch of peeled ginger, pounded
• 1 and 1/2 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of honey (if you like it sweet, put one cup)

Firstly, boil the water and add the green tea bags. Add the plain water to make it cool faster.

Then, in another small pot, make the herbal syrup by adding the lemongrass and ginger to the water. Heat it on medium heat until it reduces to about 1/2 cup. Gradually, add the honey and stir well. Turn off the heat and set it aside to cool.

Finally assemble everything in individual glasses. Add the green tea, herbal syrup, sliced lemon, calamansi and some ice cubes. You can also add mint leaves if you like.

Enjoy the recipe!
