    Excellent information. I wish I could buy the drinks already made, in todays time the problem is there is not enough time, and so much to do, I do not have time to prepare the drinks every day. Thank you for the information.

    Thank you so much. You’ve been extremely helpful in the process of detoxing. I know I’ll be much healthier once I’m done.

    Or have a bottle of kombucha or even just a few sips for less carbs. This is one of my favorite refreshers!
