The recipe for the lemonade is simple:
For One Glass:
- 1 oz / 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed)
- 1 oz / 2 Tbsp of Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
- 8 oz of Filtered Water
- 1/10 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
For Six Glasses: (Makes like an OJ Pitcher)
- 6 oz / 12 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed)
- 6 oz / 12 Tbsp of Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
- 48 oz of Filtered Water
- 1/2 Tsp of Cayenne PepperIn addition - you are allowed to have an herbal mint tea. That is a nice snack in the afternoon, but I also mixed a little mint tea with my lemonade to help the taste. And, I drank my lemonade warm, like a hot tea.
I did not really experience any problems... However, there were definitely some side effects when I first started, headaches, tired, etc. But nothing that did not go away after the first couple of days - nothing unbearable. I still went to yoga.... And I did drink the laxative teas - I never did the salt water flush - because I was never in a position to be at home for that long of a period. But I would generally have a lax tea in the evening and then one again in the morning - just to help move things out. But it was not like I lived in the bathroom!

I would make a pitcher every day - and that was pretty much all I needed. But you can have anywhere from 6-12 glasses a day, so really up to 2 pitchers if you wanted. I looked it up and basically each glass of lemonade has 100 calories.
