This is a wonderful drink when you feel in need of a good cleanse and is also great for colds and flus. It is also a very refreshing drink on a hot afternoon. It provides almost a quarter of the daily requirements for both vitamin A and vitamin C.
You can adjust the sweetener to suit your tastes. I like to use stevia in addition to the honey to keep the calories and added sugars low but I wouldn't advise using only stevia as the honey really improves the flavor, and I think it is necessary to balance the sour flavor of the limes.
Enjoy!
