Grail Elixir
Besides being delicious, it's health benefits:
- raises alkalinity
- detoxifies
- builds immune system
This refreshing detox cocktail has become infamous at Grail Springs Health & Wellness Centre, served daily to guests on our health & wellness programs, as well as at our travelling Detox Beverage Bar offered up at many celebrity functions. The Grail Detox Elixir reduces acid and raises the alkaline levels of the body as Grail Springs is all about teaching the importance of maintaining a pH balanced to ensure good health. Though lemons are thought of as highly acidic, when they mix with digestive juices, they turn alkaline. Maple syrup is also surprisingly alkalizing for the body, an excellent substitute for white sugar, and ginger is a fantastic digestive cure and immune booster among other things. We recommend using all organic products, and Perrier is a great choice for the added bubbly because it contains no addictives. You can make the infusion ahead of time and even store it for days in the refrigerator. This is a wonderful and refreshing and healthy drink that the whole family with love. Excellent served with hot water in the winter too.
