Detox Tea Recipe

 

I've been wanting to do a detox for a while.... to give me more energy, fight bloating, and help boost my metabolism.....

 

So I did a lot of research for different recipes and let me tell you there are ALOT.... and tweaked my own recipe using the typical ingredients in these detox drinks...... because a lot of them can be pretty strong.... and not very tasty....
