3 Cups of Water
Cayenne Pepper Seasoning (a few dashes – I used 1 tsp. but it depends on your spice meter.)
Optional: Agave or any other sweetener (I didn’t use any.)
Optional: Cucumber & Lemon Slices (for garnishes)
Directions:
- Juice cucumbers and set aside.
- Juice lemons and set aside.
- Combine cucumber juice, lemon juice, and water together.
- Sprinkle a few dashes of cayenne pepper and stir.
- Taste and add more cayenne if needed. (Sometimes, I add more to my individual cup.)
Yields:
About 12 servings (or more)
Fun Idea:
Make Popsicles with your juice. The cayenne pepper will float to the bottom of mold, so it’s at the top of the popsicle. It’s spicy but lick the sides to cool down the spice. SO Yummy!
