Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
DETOX SHOTS:
- 2 organic oranges, peeled + roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, freshly-squeezed
- 2 cups filtered water
- 2-3 organic green tea bags, premium
- 2 Tbsps raw organic honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 inches ginger root, peeled + roughly chopped
Instructions
TO MAKE THE GREEN TEA:
- Start by adding the filtered water to medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Add your tea bags and let everything continue to boil for another 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let tea bags continue to steep for about 5-10 minutes. NOTE: The longer that the tea bags steep, the stronger the flavor. You can let them steep up to 30 minutes before it begins to get bitter. Finally, add in the honey, stir to combine. Let cool completely!
TO MAKE THE DETOX SHOTS:
- In a high-powered blender, add the orange slices, lemon juice, cooled green tea mixture, ginger, and cinnamon, blending on high-speed until combined and everything is broken down------about 2-3 minutes.
- Strain the blended mixture into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove any pulp.
- Then, safely pour your detox shots into your fave glass, jars, or mini glass bottles----as great meal prep!
- Sip and Enjoy!
Notes
- STORAGE: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly sealed in your fave mason jar or mini glass bottles. Best if consumed within a 2-3 days. You can also enjoy them warm or hot, by adding the detox shots to a saucepan over medium-high heat until warmed through. Enjoy in your fave mug!
- SWEETENER: Instead of honey, you can substitute with pure maple syrup, organic brown sugar, or organic cane sugar.
- SERVING SIZE: This recipe makes about 10-12 servings when using mini glass bottles that are 2 oz. small, however, you can always double or triple this recipe for additional servings and/or for meal prepping for the week. You can also enjoy this detox tea cold as an iced tea or hot as regular tea. Either way it's tasty!
- ADDITIONAL DETOX POWER: If you'd like to add additional detox power, antioxidant, or anti-inflammatory ingredients to the mix, you can always add mint leaves, turmeric powder (with a pinch of black pepper), pineapple, cucumber, strawberries, etc.
