This is how I start every day - except usually on Saturday I give myself a pass. The taste is a lot, but the benefits outweigh all that. Get yourself a good metal straw and you will avoid more of the taste. As for the benefits - there are so many I'm going to say just google it. If you want a little more sweetness you can add a touch of maple syrup as well. I'd say happy sipping, but I think healthy sipping is more accurate on this one. I keep a tiny little dish in my cabinet filled with the red pepper. That makes it easier to make each day. The metal straw set can be found here.
1 cup warm water
Juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar with the mother
pinch of cayenne pepper
