Master Cleanse - Day 5
OMG, I TOTALLY screwed up! I somehow got it into my head that there are 8 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup instead of 4, meaning that I've been using only half the lemon juice and maple syrup I need to. No wonder I've been so completely worn out!! If anyone else decides to try this, the lemonade tastes much better when you use proper measurements.
Not much to say today other than I was absolutely miserable and thinking about quitting my cleanse until I discovered my error. I made a new partial batch of lemonade this evening, and I already feel better. I think this week will be easier now that I know how to mix the lemonade properly.
I did experiment today with leaving the rinds on the limes (I use some lemon and some lime), which was a HUGE mistake even though they said you could do it that way if you wanted to. It made the whole batch horribly bitter and awful, though I suffered through most of the day. So that was a disaster, but on the plus side I discovered that putting the lemons/limes in the blender (rinds removed) actually "juices" them a lot better. I don't like the pulp, so if I just strain the liquified citrus, I get more juice. Which is good, because now I know I need a whole cup of lemon juice to make 8 servings.
Not much else to say other than I'm clearly a Master Cleanse noob, and I hope next week will be much better. =)
