I’m too much of a germ-a-phobe to let the mixture sit out on my counter for a day. I would have to refrigerate immediately. Thanks for the interesting read.

Pinning this for future reference. Does this taste good? I’m super picky about weird tastes, though I’m always willing to try new things. I hate to waste stuff.
adecheine
Hey Amanda, yes, this tastes really fresh. If you check out some of my detox drinks, some are a bit over the top.

I have never tried anything like this before. It sounds very healthy though. I love cucumber and grapefruit.
embracinthegoodlife
This is a great idea! I drink so much water already this would be easy to do. It’s better to get your vitamins from the source than from a supplement anyways. Thanks for sharing!
