Be careful! There are a lot of copycat recipes to the lemon detox diet, but none like this original. A lot of websites have the measurements wrong. I decided to publish this article to educate people and explain the correct recipe of the lemonade for the master cleanse. This is the original, developed by Stanley Burroughs.
Below you will find the recipe as well as some tips and warnings based on my own personal experience, as well as Mr. Burroughs.
This recipe makes 1 days' worth of lemonade. It is not recommended making each glass separately. It's best to make a one big batch in the morning to last you through the day. Do not drink more than this per day.
In a large pitcher mix together:
2 liters water
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
14 tablespoons maple syrup (Grade B maple syrup only)
14 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
That's it, believe it or not. Mix everything together and you now have a batch of lemonade to last you through the day.
Some people can't stand this much cayenne pepper, its' too spicy for them. To this I'd say, adjust to suite your taste. The cayenne pepper, while still an important part of the recipe, does not have to be 100% correct.
It's best to include the cayenne pepper (even in small amounts) but if you can't stand it at all (or if you are allergic) you can cinnamon as a substitute. I only recommend this if you are allergic. If it's simply the taste you don't like, suck it up!
The juice from the lemon will turn your empty stomach sour. This is to be expected during the first 3 days. After 3 days the hunger pangs should go away and it will be easier on you.
Make sure you use grade b maple syrup only. There are certain nutrient properties that are only found in grade b syrup. Do not adjust the amount of syrup. Using less (and hence cutting the calories) will not help you lose weight faster and will probably screw with your metabolism. You need some nutrients, most of which come from the grade b maple syrup.
There are also some websites that claim you can use honey instead. This is simply not true. Don't use honey. Just follow the recipe as Stanley prescribed and you should be ok. Consult your doctor before going on the Master Cleanse.
That's it! Now you know how to make the lemon detox diet recipe! Go to your supermarket and stock up!
Note: Your local supermarket may not carry grade b maple syrup. If this is the case you can order it online.
