This recipe is an adaptation of Stanley Burroughs’ Master Cleanse. Even if you aren’t doing a formal cleanse, this beverage has benefits; it could be used occasionally throughout the entire MTHI plan to gently cleanse the body of toxins.
Drink this mixture before breakfast to help improve liver function and digestion. The classic Master Cleanse calls for maple syrup and cayenne and is consumed daily for forty days. Julie prefers to use a sweetener that is lower on the glycemic index, such as raw honey, and a cleansing spice that is less irritating to the intestines, such as turmeric. Choose organic, vine-ripened citrus whenever possible. Note: it is important that you consult a holistic practitioner for advice during a cleanse.
