Healthy Lemonade Beverage

All of the ingredients here should be adjusted for taste. I prefer less than the official amount of Maple Syrup. But that is just my preference.

More commentary on the effects of this lemonade later. But for now, here's the recipe:
  • Juice of one fresh lemon (not the equivalent from lemon concentrate)

  • 1/5th teaspoon of Cayenne pepper

  • 4 T Grade B Maple Syrup (Must be true Grade B Maple Syrup. Corn syrup based syrups such as Log Cabin is not the same thing. Grade B can be hard to find sometimes. Look for it at grocers such as Whole Foods Market.)

  • 16 oz. Water
