I’m not sure what to call this drink..lemon water? Green tea with lemon, honey, cayenne, and cinnamon? Yeah… so I just call it “Hello Beautiful” morning tea because I drink it first thing in the morning and it makes my skin look sooooo pretty and radiant when I drink it consistently.
I usually always slack off when I run out of fresh lemons but I’m determined to keep up with it this year. There are so many benefits to the ingredients in this tea. Just do a google search and you will be flooded with information about it helping with circulation, acne, weight loss, cholesterol, diseases, detoxing, and all kinda good stuff.
Drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It’s suppose to help with metabolism a lot and get your body in motion and feeling fabulous! Honestly I’m not sure how I feel about it as a “weight management” drink because I use it to detox my skin.
It works great at evening out my skin tone. I also use plain green tea as a facial toner. It’s so amazing!!
Watch me make this “Good Morning Beautiful” Morning Tea from start to finish!

This is such an easy and cheap but effective way. I found this helpful to reduce my extra body fat. Thanks for the recipe.
This recipe sounds wonderful for the evening if morning isn’t the best time. I love tea and usually have my afternoon or evening tea everyday after work. Thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks for the comment Theresa!
There’s no debating green tea has many health benefits. But having it first thing in the morning may not be a good idea after all. A study done on dietary supplement with green tea extracts found that green tea supplement on an empty stomach can have adverse effects on the liver.
I enjoy this recipe, however I did do some research and found that it is not good first thing in the morning on an empty stomach after all.
I agree it’s not a good idea first thing in the morning. I literally just had this tea on an empty stomach around 7:30am and sure enough 10 mins later I felt nauseous and started vomiting. Definitely gonna try it after I have lunch. The tea itself has amazing health benefits but I realize it will be better that I drink it after a meal.
Regular drinking of tea can boost your complexion. Its a good source of antioxidants which makes skin firmer and radiant looking. These antioxidants helps to minimize the premature signs of aging, maintaining your youthful looking skin. Tea can be use also as an ingredient to your facial care.
Super recipe. I lost 20 kgs in 2 month with proper diet. Don., t go for Any other medicine and slimming centre
I like this recipe. I drink this first thing in the morning and then throughout the day i have a 2.3 litre jug of water with one cup of green tea added and a whole sliced lemon and if i have them a few mint leaves. I like this water and bit of green tea to balance out the dehydration from the green tea alone.
Thanks for sharing this! I tried it this morning and I had to rush to the bathroom after drinking and threw up….any ideas why??? I drank it first thing in the morning before having anything else. Is it something you just have to get used it? I did like the taste of it! Thanks!!
That’s SO a green tea thing! I have to drink it slowly or not on an empty stomach to be able to keep it down ????
I watched a video made by someone who is a retailer of green tea. He says we should not drink it on an empty stomach. The reason is because green tea is meant to help with digestion, but when you drink it first thing in the morning there is nothing in your stomach to digest. This can make you sick.
I am so thankful to have found your website. This recipe is great! I actually look forward to waking up and drinking it. I was a little nervous about the cayenne pepper.. but slowly I am working my way up to a 1/4 teaspoon of the hot stuff. I use organic lemons from Trader Joe’s and I use the whole lemon (peel and pulp, no seeds). Organic lemons are smaller and their skin is not as thick also no bad stuff. It has many health benefits to eat the whole lemon. Thank you for helping me get my day off to a healthy start!
Your website is the best!! Thanks for sharing everything!
You know what…lol…
I surveyed on cayenne,cinnamon,lemon & green tea separately…and I thought of combining it all into one….and it lead me to your sharing!
Thanks a lot! Gonna try this out 🙂
(I’m looking forward to lose weight)
I have the same question as ^Sara… do you think it will work just as well if I drink it iced? I live in Korea and the weather will be getting pretty warm soon.
Thanks,

Thanks, this tea is potent stuff. I felt my circulation improve immediately. This tea is the best pre-workout drink EVER! Beats even the best supplements and excellent for burning fat. During the winter I add a bit of ginger.. It tastes delicious and is a good immune boost as well. Thanks for putting it out there.. I’m addicted and never felt better.
