Notes: Raw honey cannot be replaced with other sweeteners, as it is not meant to sweeten, but rather to add minerals, glucose, and other medicinal properties that only pure, unheated honey offers. Other natural or alternative sweeteners cannot be used.

Tips: To make the drink in advance, you can prepare the concentrate or fully made drinks three to four days in advance; store in the fridge. The concentrated mixture can also be frozen for months and defrosted as needed.

If you’re drinking this regularly, one batch a day is more than enough, with an additional six to eight cups of water throughout the day.

To prepare for a fast, I suggest drinking one full batch each day for the two days preceding the fast. (You can spread it out throughout the day, diluted in as much water as you want.)

Replenishing with this drink after a fast, followed by another batch the next day, will quickly help you feel rehydrated and energized.
