Morning Tonic

I like to have this warming drink every morning when I wake up. The ingredients are great for getting your digestive system working for the day and for hydrating your body and skin. I like to make a large batch and freeze the mixture in a silicone mini muffin pan, so that I can just pull a couple frozen pieces out of the freezer in the morning and add hot water.

Ingredients (large batch)

• Juice from 6-8 lemons

• 1/2 cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 3 Tbl grated ginger

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together well and pour into a silicone mini muffin tray or an ice cube tray. Freeze thoroughly and once frozen you can pop them out and put them in a container or freezer bag to store in the freezer. Add one or two cubes to your mug with some hot water. Enjoy!

I love this mini muffin tray, I use it to make these tonic cubes, muffins, and other frozen treats. I like this one in particular because it has structured handles on the sides, so it is easy to pick up. Other silicone trays I have used are so floppy that you need to place them on a separate tray to move them without spilling the contents.
