Notes
You can also use lime juice in place of lemon juice. Keep in mind that it will be tarter.
Instead of maple syrup, use any sweetener of your choice. You can use sugar, honey, or date syrup. Sugar-free substitutes like stevia or monk fruit also work fine.
Use only food-grade charcoal to make this drink.
If using capsules, open the capsules and take out the powder. Discard the cover and use the powder.
