Cayenne Pepper in Lemonade
Who puts pepper in their lemonade? Apparently, I do, and you just might find yourself doing it too if you try this recipe-super sweet with a tiny subtle kick, the cayenne pepper perfectly accents the sweet and tart of the lemon!
Why I Love Cayenne Lemonade
I have heard of people using this Cayenne Lemonade as part of a Master Cleanse but I have not tried that. I instead love the little kick with the sweetness of this refreshing drink!

That sounds very cool! I love Chili Pepper Chocolate, so this sound totally up my alley!

Let me know what you think Gwen! My boys didn’t like it-they thought it tasted like soda, which they don’t drink, but myself and my husband did!

This sounds SO interesting – love that you used brown sugar! Sweet, sour and a little kick … can’t wait to try this!
Melissa Riker says
Thanks Keri-you can make it with maple syrup too, just use slightly less than the measurement for brown sugar.
