Flush out the toxins and you will in turn reap the beauty benefits. Clearer skin and a svelter physique—what’s not to love?
We asked Zuma’s prize cocktail crafter, Jimmy Barratt the recipe behind their latest cleansing blend:
Detox Drink: Zuma Zen
The Ingredients:
1 fresh kiwi
2 shiso leaves
8 mint leaves
20 ml agave nectar
20ml lime juice
80ml organic green apple juice
The Method:
Blend the unpeeled fresh kiwi with the shiso and mint leaves. Pour the combined liquids into the mix and gently shake over crushed ice. The result is a refreshing and energy fuelled tonic. Slightly sweetened by the addition of the agave nectar, this is both a delicious and healthy mix.
