Forget the coffee. This is a great way to start the day! Cleanse from the inside out. Cleanse the body of impurity by rinsing the system and stimulating digestion. Drinking this first thing in the morning will also help to "tone" your body because lemon stimulates cleansing of both the gallbladder and liver. Relieves symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching. Controls constipation and diarrhea by eliminating waste efficiently. Cleanses the Liver.

I am not a coffee drinker, and this was a great alternative. Not too tart and nice and warming. Easier than coffee too! Tagged in Vegan Swap. I'll have to keep this and take it more regularly for the cleansing benefits. Thanks Rita. You always have such great health remedies!

    Delightful. I enjoyed this yesterday evening so thought I should call it 'moonshine'. I remember that one time I was on a diet (no, didn't drink moonshine) but it was suggested to drink a tblsp. of lemon juice in a couple of ounces of hot water, this tastes better. I will have to buy a big supply of lemons as I plan to start my day off with this regularly. Thanks for a great idea. Reviewed for "I Recommend Tag Game.

    I have had this every morning before I eat or drink anything else for absolutely ages and I swear by it. It not only cleanses your liver and gallblader(which i only just discovered + all the other benifits), but it also detoxs your skin, I love it, thanks for posting. Miss Pixie x x x

    I can't believe I never thought of this! I guess it just goes to show you that sometimes the simplest things are the best. This "feels" so much nicer than coffee and leaves a clean feeling in my mouth. It also makes a wonderful pre-bedtime drink. I sometimes add a little Splenda and a couple drops of vanilla to make this even more soothing. Love it!
