Start your morning right, every day with Detox Tea!
Sweet, tart and detoxifying, this “tea” refreshes you and provides some awesome benefits! The main ingredient is organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) and it packs a punch! It aids in weight loss, helps control blood sugar, boosts energy, improves immunity, metabolism, digestion, acne, hair, breath and more! Read about more benefits and sources here! It really is a super-food to keep in your pantry.
Many people attribute the benefits of apple cider vinegar to the “mother” which is a pretty creepy name for the strand-like chains of protein enzyme molecules floating around making the liquid look cloudy. This is found in ACV that is unfiltered and is actually part of what makes the vinegar acidic. No studies have proven that the mother is the part of the AV that is so beneficial, so whether you have a bottle with or without the “mother” fear not, you will only gain from giving this ingredient a try.

The most common way of using ACV is by ingesting it. You can also try rinsing your hair with it after shampooing, using it as a toner on your face before bed, swish it around in your mouth to whiten teeth, rub onto skin to heal a mild sunburn, the possibilities are endless! It is definitely an ingredient to have on hand for all kinds of scenarios.
Today, however, we’re drinking it! As this apple cider vinegar drink is pretty potent, we’re diluting it with warm water and some other beneficial ingredients. Sure, you could just drink apple cider vinegar straight out of the bottle but that would be a very harsh way to start your day. It is much more enjoyable to make our morning detox tea.
To make our detox tea, simply warm up some water and mix in all your ingredients together in your mug. We recommend using a microwave-safe mug in case you need to reheat your drink later on. Make sure to use fresh lemon juice (squeeze it yourself!) as it has the most health benefits and is much more potent when fresh. Adding cayenne is optional, but it’s what gives this drink it’s extra immunity-boosting powers. If you add just a dash, you won’t taste it much as the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice will overpower the spiciness of the cayenne. Give it a try as it really is an essential part of the detox tea!
This drink is sweet, tart and warming. I find it energizes and wakes me up at the first sip!
I’ve even started skipping my morning coffee and opting for morning detox tea instead. Of course, our Bulletproof coffee is still a favorite, but a good balance of ketogenic and paleo mornings does us good!

How long do you have to wait after to eat and drink coffee?
You can eat and drink right away. Make sure to continue to eat a clean diet low in carbs and processed foods.
Hi! Do I take this tea after I eat my breakfast? I usually eat yogurt and chia and berries, then need one cup of coffee in the morning. Can I take this tea right after that or before that?
Thanks!!
You can drink this tea any time of the day!
I absolutely love this! I was hesitant with the amount of acidity but tastes well balanced and delicious. I try to find different ways to ingest ACV. I typically jar my drinks ahead of time for on-the-go. Would that be ideal for this recipe? Thank you for sharing!
You can definitely make a few day’s worth in advance and store it in the fridge! Glad you like it. 🙂
This looks awesome. I am going to try it. Just wondering if ginger can be added for it’s benefits?
If you like ginger, feel free to add some!
I tried this today for the first time, and was astounded I actually enjoyed it! Live the addition of lemon juice, cayenne and Cinnamon. I’ll be making this daily, now.
I found this recipe on Pinterest about a week ago and have been drinking it every morning since. I had to come say Thank You! for putting this out there. I have been struggling with food (mainly sugar) addiction and this tea has helped curb all the cravings so that I can focus on my healthy meal plan. I’m down 4 lbs and feel so much better knowing I’m not eating junk. I have more energy and more mental clarity. This tea was definitely a key.
That’s awesome Brin! Keep it up!
Can it be put on ice? Dont really like hot drinks.
Absolutely, go for it! It may need to be stirred a bit. The cinnamon is a little finicky.
Do you take this only once a day in the am or three times a day 30 minutes before each meal. A co-worker told me this kept her full all day long if this is the right recipe.
When using the detox tea, we generally take it once or twice a day, in the morning and afternoon.
HOW MANY DAYS WE USE Morning Detox Tea
As many days as you’d like!
I love this tea! But I was wondering if it is okay that I cut back on the ACV? Because I have a hard time taking the taste.
Sure! Try it with less ACV.
Can the water be substituted with cinamon tea (made freah from the cinamon sticks) in stead of the powdered and warmed adding the other ingredients in the process.
Sure!
Tastes delicious (and I’m not a fan of the taste or smell of ACV?)
Added a little more honey and fresh ground cloves to the mix?
Yummy ?
Hi! Can I drink it every day? If so, for how long? Thanks!
Hi Mayra,
You should drink it every day for about a week or two during the detox. You’ll see the most results if you fast and skip breakfast for this same time period.
Can I use regular honey instead?
Yes, whichever honey you have on hand.
Hello, if I make a batch for a week, does it lose any of its benefits?
I would make it fresh every morning. The lemon may turn too sour.
can people with diabetics drink this tea?
This drink in particular is not sugar free as it contains honey so I would consult with your doctor.
Is it ok to use regular ACV?
That should be fine!
