Master Cleanse Recipe
This lemonade cleanse recipe is the perfect way to kick off the New Year. Inspired by the master cleanse recipe, this homemade detox lemonade is just as healthy but tastes even better!
It’s the NEW YEAR! It’s the time where we all obsess over New Years Resolutions, eating healthy, and realizing that summer is quickly approaching. I try not to worry about those things too much (bring me all the cheese please!), but having a few recipes up my sleeve that make me feeling brighter and better is never a bad thing.
A few years ago I remember Yolanda talking about the Master Cleanse Diet on RHOBH (don’t judge) and I knew I had to at least give it a try. Cheese is my first addiction and reality TV is my second…sorry!
It turns out in small doses and when tweaked a bit, the master cleanse recipe can be turned into this fun and tasty Homemade Detox Lemonade Cleanse recipe.
This lemon detox recipe actually tastes GOOD and it’s one of my favorite hot drinks to sip on a cold day. It makes me feel rejuvenated, light, and brand new. And that’s always a nice feeling!
Make this tasty Homemade Detox Lemonade Cleanse to kick off the new year. Whether you’re doing the Master Cleanse or just want a healthy drink to sip on, this is the recipe for you!
Tasty Lemon Detox Recipe
Even when I lived in Florida after college, my friend would make fun of me for my hatred of the beach and all things swimsuits. Since I’ve been back in Missouri, I’ve been in a swimsuit about 2 times in 7 years. That’s the way I like it. So while some people might call this “Bikini Lemonade”, I’m not all about that.
Just because I avoid swimsuits to a point that is extreme, I still want to feel recharged once in a while. This Homemade Detox Lemonade Cleanse does the trick! And it’s not totally gross like some master cleanse recipes (let’s be honest). That’s a BIG plus!
Homemade Detox (Master Cleanse Recipe)
Whether you plan to do the Master Cleanse (6-12 glasses of this stuff per day and no food…), or you just want a warm drink to sip on to enjoy the healthy benefits, this lemonade cleanse recipe is perfect. I love the lemon and honey combo, with a bit of ginger and cayenne to spice things up.
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, especially when it’s warm. This homemade detox is purely delightful. You don’t have to do a full cleanse to enjoy this recipe!
How to Do the Master Cleanse
This lemon detox recipe is a fun Master Cleanse recipe. I made a few tweaks to the others I saw out there, and I think this one tastes a lot better. I can actually enjoy drinking it instead of just forcing it down! It’s a mix of lemon juice, hot water, honey, ginger, and cayenne pepper–no maple syrup here.
The recipe card shows you how to make this lemonade cleanse recipe as a single serving, or up to 4 servings at a time. So if you are doing the master cleanse and want to prepare multiple serving at once, you can mix them now, save them for later, and reheat before drinking.
I love sipping on this Homemade Detox Lemonade Cleanse recipe. Whatever your reason for drinking it, this lemon detox recipe is a tasty way to feel good. A great master cleanse recipe that is delicious and easy to make.

Nutrition Information
This one is just right; not too spicy! I had to use Stevia b/c I can’t have honey, so my proportions were two packets :: one serving, no honey. I also added a 1/4 tsp turmeric (for inflammation; I don’t perceive it changes the flavor).
If someone is able to have a little honey, I’d recommend cutting the honey in half & doing 1/2 stevia. Hope to try that when my blood sugar is not an issue.
Thanks for stopping by, DJ!
I’ve tried the master cleanse before. I can still remember that taste. Yuck! I just tried this one & it’s not bad. It’s a little strong but results mean more to me than taste.
I am sorry it wasn’t quite to your taste!
Does it have to be spicy to have it full effect? I made this before and the spice was too much.
You can modify it to your taste!
Absolutely not. If you had read the original master cleanse book, you would know that honey is incredibly frowned upon when doing this cleanse. Stop trying to rewrite what works, and use pure maple syrup. There is a reason why maple syrup is used.
WOW!! How rude….it doesn’t sound like she is trying to change it… she said she wasn’t making it to get results.. just wanted to share her version. SMH!!!
I agree. Soooo many people have healed using the real master cleanse recipe. It is made with maple syrup for a reason. That’s why it works. But only if done correctly.
I don’t think it is rude at all to tell the real truth. What is rude is monopolizing on something that works, naming your own stuff with that same name, and not explaining to your following, that the reason for the strict ingredients and strict ratios of the real original master cleanse is to ensure health benefits ! Also to ensure you get the proper nutrients Why else would you do a cleanse? If it has honey it is not a cleanse. Just saying. To each his own. But you shouldn’t speak negatively about something that works, if you don’t want negativity to come back to you.
I’m getting ready to try this.. I’ve never done any cleanse before in my life but I love lemons and ginger so I thought I might give it a try. How many days in a row do you do it, if you’re going for the master cleanses? If you just drank it everyday once a day, what’s the difference in results/feeling?
I don’t do it longterm. I do it in addition to eating healthy foods. I’m definitely not a doctor or qualified in saying results, but when i drink it a few days in a row I feel lighter and more regular.
What causes this to have 53g of carbs?
The ingredients…
You didn’t mention the salt you are supposed to do with water as a laxative that also goes with the diet. You typed five paragraphs of stuff before you even got to the diet and STILL didn’t list the full diet
Because this is a drink, not a diet.🤦♀️
Can I use black pepper instead?
It may alter the taste slightly but my recipes can always be modified!
Is the nutrition info for the whole recipe?
Yes, it is! :)
Hi just wondering if you actually have to use ground ginger or if I would be able to skip it.
Thank you
You can skip it if you prefer!
