Jillian Michaels Cleanse / Detox / De-Bloat Drink Notes

Yesterday I poured 20oz of the concoction and sipped nervously throughout the day, my mind echoing with the myths/scares found on the internet when you Google about drinking distilled water.
Today I put my mind at ease by referring to the respected Dr. Andrew Weil and his sound wisdom about distilled water:

Anyways, here's how I made it today:

  1. Boiled some distilled water in a kettle (like a cup and a half or so--no need to measure, just enough to steep the bag in and not stress out your kettle's heating element with too little water), steeped the Dandelion root tea bag for an hour or so.
  2. Got my 50oz pitcher (dollar store) and poured the steeped tea in, added 3 tbsps lemon juice (from concentrate--one of those plastic lemon-shaped juice bottles you buy in the fruit section), added  1 tbsp sugar-free (sucralose) cranberry juice (bought in the juice aisle). Mixed it up.
  3. Poured out a third of the mix into my water container and started on it.
It kind of tastes like unsweetened, super-weak tea.
