day 1 (afternoon)

So far, everything is okay. I woke up pretty early and am usually hungry by now; I think the salt water is there to ruin your appetite; either way, I think I'll go the "tea in the morning and tea in the evening" route rather than chug that nasty salt water.

Below are some pictures of the 'lemonade.' That's Zambrano in the background. You can see the specks of pepper; you can taste it, too. The cayenne pepper is hot! But it tastes okay; sweet, then the kick. People are going to think I'm insane carrying this huge thing around so I'll probably allocate it into a nalgene bottle or two and drink that throughout the day.

I drew a line on the bottle so I know where to fill up the bottle for ten cups instead of having to measure every time for the next 9 days. You should, too... unless you have a measuring cup pre-set to 10 cups; but you'd still have to pour it into the first container and then pour it back into your lemonade bottle.

By the way, the Grade B Organic Maple Syrup is really liquidy; unlike thick, syrupy maple syrup we're accustomed to. Probably makes it easier to blend.
