Lemonade 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 Make Lemonade Cleanse Recipe
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.

Does the lemon water have to be warm or hot. What about room temperatureBecky Hardin
The lemon water can be room temperature, you just pour it into the hot water. You can heat the entire thing a bit more if you prefer hotter. ENjoy!Suzanne Sanchez
Ok will I still get the same benefits drinking lemon water room temperature versus hot or warm lemon water. Health wise. Just saying. Thank youBecky Hardin
Yes, to me it just tastes better as a hot drink. Whichever way you prefer it is great!Louise
What does this do for you exactly?Becky Hardin
Lemons as well as the other ingredients help to promote good digestion, immune system, skin repair, is good for your urinary tract, and other benefits! It's not a cure for anything, it's just a healthy recipe to decrease bloat, etc.Beth
Your first sentence, college is misspelled. 👍🏼Becky Hardin
Thank you :)Ana Vílchez
For how long do we need to drink it? What do you recommend?Becky Hardin
I don't use this as an actual cleanse...I just drink it from time to time. I wouldn't recommend it as a meal replacement or anything like that.Becky Hardin
That being said you can drink them as much as you like (while also still eating). It's just a healthy sip :)Denisse | Le Petit Eats
We drink these nonstop when we're feeling under the weather and it helps us kick whatever bug we have to the curb! You make them look so sunny and pretty enough to drink every day!Becky Hardin
Thanks Denisse! That's an awesome idea about drinking them when you feel sick. A warm drink that's comforting and beneficial at the same time!Rebecca
Can powdered ginger work as well? Not sure what you mean about ground ginger.Becky Hardin
Yep, the same thing. My jar just says ground ginger :) Hope you love it!annette pena
Could I add 1 tsp of organic apple cider vinegar to the detox drink? if, so what benefit would i get?Becky Hardin
You could! I don't know much about the benefits of apple cider to be honest, but I do know people add it to drinks sometimes for weight loss benefits. I haven't ever tried it so I'm not sure how it would taste! Hope you love it if you give it a try :)Alyson
How long do you do this for?Becky Hardin
I just meant this recipe to be a drink when needed or wanted, not as a meal replacement. You can sip it anytime you like! It's just a healthy drink that promotes digestion. Enjoy!Cristy
Do you use real lemons for the lemon juice or do you think it would be same benefit with lemon juice in bottle?Becky Hardin
You can use either :)Anna
Is it very spicy?Becky Hardin
No it's not bad at all. If you're worried about the spice just use a bit less at first, taste and then add more if you're comfortable with the taste. Enjoy!
