Recipe # 3. Minty Grapefruit
This delightful delicious combination of citrus spiced with mint and ginger makes the perfect thirst-quenching recipe for detoxification success! The lemon and lime in this recipe help relieve the pain and pressure of inflammation, and combine to combat toxic buildup and irritation that can otherwise prevent the organs from functioning as designed. 

Ingredients│ Yields 1 liter infused water.

1 liter water
½ medium pink grapefruit, peeled and sliced
½ large lemon, peeled and sliced
½ large lime, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon mint leaves, crushed
1 inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced

1. Prepare a pitcher or water infuser product with 1 liter water.

2. Place the grapefruit, lemon, lime, mint leaves and ginger inside the pitcher or water infuser's canister.

3. Allow mixture to steep in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place for 4-8 hours. For best flavor and health benefits, consume within 24-48 hours.


The Key Ingredients
The vitamin C-rich grapefruit contain lycopene, which not only acts a potent antioxidant for cell health regeneration but also helps to regulate blood pressure. The lemon and lime contribute limonoids, which help to combat free radical damage to cells and help relieve inflammation, one of the major causes of pain in the body's joints and extremities, hands and legs. The mint and ginger contribute enzymes, oils, and polyphenols that help the functioning of the cardiovascular system, immune system, and nervous system.
