Q&A
Q: Will this drink “flush toxins” or make me lose weight?
A: It may support healthy digestion and hydration, which can help you feel lighter, but it doesn’t directly remove toxins or fat. Your liver and kidneys handle detoxification naturally.
Q: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Yes, but it’s best consumed fresh. If needed, store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Q: Can I add other ingredients?
A: You can add cucumber, mint, or celery for extra freshness and hydration.
