This question was left on blog comment section, asking about adding sweetener to the herbal tea we use when we’re doing the Master Cleanse…

When drinking the herbal teas like peppermint, is it ok to add a little sweetener like honey or maple syrup?

Yes! You can add a touch of the same maple syrup you use for the Master Cleanse lemonade to your tea. However, if you’re drinking a lot of lemonade and enjoy your tea extra sweet, you may be consuming too much sucrose (the natural sugar in maple syrup).

How you choose to balance it out is up to you. You could could add a little less syrup to your lemonade. Or, you can sweeten everything up with Stevia, which is an all natural sweetener that has no calories.
