Black Pepper and Lemon

Make a drink that aids in weight loss and sore throats!

With the weathering changing so much, this spicy little concoction can help soothe a sore throat while also losing weight. It contains black pepper and lemon juice to create a drink that can help you keep ahead on your weight loss battle. Black pepper contains a naturally occurring chemical compound called piperine, which is responsible for giving it its pungent flavor. Several new studies have shown that piperine can interfere with the genes that control the generation of fat cells, as well as reducing fat levels in the blood stream and enhancing the absorption of nutrients from our foods. Lemon juice can help aid in digestion and give your G.I. track a helping hand when it comes to breaking down foods. 

You will need…
-Several sprinkles of freshly ground black pepper
-Juice of half a lemon
-Fresh water

Directions
Mix lemon juice with water and sprinkle in black pepper (about 3-4 turns of the pepper grinder.) Drink once daily after a meal.

FYI The pepper does not change the taste of the tea. Can you believe it?
