Use this recipe at big parties and make a big batch and save in the fridge to keep hydrated all day. This drink cleanses and regulates the digestive system and alkalizes the body. Perfect for a cleanse.
1. Zest 1 lemon and 1 lime
2. Put zested ginger, cucumber, 1 cup coconut water, the juice of 1/2 of the zested lemon, and the juice of 1/2 of the zested lime into the blender and blend for a few minutes on low.
3. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a large punch bowl.
4. Add water to mixture (1:1, water:mixture).
5. Add a few quick squirts of liquid Stevia (optional - I didn't do this), the juices of the other halves of the zested lemon and lime, as well as a teaspoon of each of their zests to the mixture, Stir well.
6. From, here you can either:
- Add the rest of the zest, ice and the remaining lemon and lime, cut into slices, to the mixture, then
- Keep adding water and coconut water (amounts of each to your own preference and to taste)
OR
- Serve in individual glasses by filling each glass with ice and a slice from the remaining lemon and lime, then
- Fill half the glass with the detox mixture, and then the other half with your preferred levels of water and/or coconut water,
- And top the glass with some zest and a basil leaf.
7. Enjoy!
*** My preferred combinations:
- Light Refreshing Water to Cool-Down: 1/2 detox mixture, 1/2 water, splash of coconut water
- Post-Workout Rejuvenator: 1/2 detox mixture, 1/2 coconut water
- Quick Detox Metabolism Booster/Digestion Aide: 3/4 detox mixture, *1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 water ********I personally don't think this tastes too good, but I like to drink it quickly in the morning to wake myself up!********
