1 tsp raw honey (optional, for taste and added energy)

💪 Benefits:

-
Cayenne: Can help boost metabolism and wake you up naturally.
⚠️ Note:
This drink has a strong flavor due to the raw garlic. Start with half a clove if you’re new to it, or try blending with apple cider vinegar and a bit more honey to mellow it out.
