Try this recipe first at night... you'll be surprised how refreshed you look and feel in the morning. If you like it, you may want to do it again in the morning.

PRIMARY INGREDIENTS
1 Tablespoon Blackstrap Molasses (be careful if you have diabetes -- this may be too sweet for you)
2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/8 teaspoon of Baking Soda (per Ted's alkalizing formula)
Glass of hot water (steam distilled water is best)

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
2-3 shakes of cayenne pepper -- optional (good addition if you need to cut mucous production)
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric -- optional (add this if you have boils or any kind of acne)

Add these ingredients to your mug of hot (but not boiling) water. Stir well and sip slowly. You may want to follow this drink with a couple glasses of water since it can cause dehydration (especially during the night).

Note #1: Blackstrap Molasses is a great skin purifier.
Note #2: Apple Cider Vinegar causes the skin to glow with a healthy pink flush
Note #3: Turmeric appears to shrink pores
Note #4: Baking Soda alkalizes the formula
