Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz Apricot juice
  • 8 oz Pure lemon Verbena tea
  • 2 T Castor oil food grade
  • 2 T Almond butter

Equipment

  • 1 Tea pot

Method
 

  1. Brew the tea and allow to steep for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Add to a glass and drink on an empty stomach

Notes

Can substitute apricot juice with orange juice, pineapple juice and mango nectar if desired.
You can substitute peanut butter for the almond butter, but the almond butter binds better to the castor oil.
This can be taken over ice but is best at room temperature. 
Best time to take is early morning on an empty stomach.
Only take one dose every 48-72 to try and prevent dehydration.
