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
Thank you! I can’t stand maple syrup. 😀
Homemade Detox Lemonade Cleanse is the best one. I like to combine Wellabs Turcmeric drops with ginger for better absorption
Sounds delicious!
Great advice and I like the change from syrup to using honey. Honey is a more healthy substitute.
Thanks for letting us know, Sharon!
You do realize this does nothing for you now right? Anyone can lose weight on a little of nothing but the ORIGINAL recipe is what works together, chemically for the right detox benefits!
Easy and yummy 🙌
Looks great!
Is this effective for weight loss too?
You will want a doctor or dietician to determine that!
Can you skip the cayenne pepper or is that very important?
Modify if you need to!
What is considered the Master Cleanse? How many days do you do it? And if not eating, how much do you drink a day? I need some clarification please! 😊
I am no dietician, just a food blogger, so it’s best to ask a professional!
This recipe certainly will taste better than the true Master Cleanse with Maple Syrup or Black Strap Molasses as I’ve seen it called for; however, that dreaded ingredient is a very important one. Each is packed many minerals & a host of other health benefits to support energy levels and other nutritional needs to get your body through the fast. While I love honey and despise maple syrup & molasses I find that I feel better at the end of the cleanse when I have used the syrup/molasses. Less fatigued, less temptation to eat. I’ll use this recipe as something yummy to drink, but not as a cleanse.
Exactly!!! I just posted this but it hasn’t been approved yet.
How many days would you suggest doing this detox?
That is personally up to you! I am by no means a dietician or nutritionist!
