Spicy Lemonade

This is a tasty beverage that provides you with fast carbs to fuel your workouts. It contains capsaicin which helps your body burn more calories by revving up your metabolism.

Here's how you make it:

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice
  • cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • some ice cubes 
Thoroughly mix the honey with the hot water until it is dissolved. I like to shake it, but you can stir it, blend it or whatever. I don't care as long as it gets mixed and you don't have big gobs of honey at the bottom of your drink.
Next you put in a few dashes of cayenne. As much or as little as you want - you're the one who's drinking it. If you are scared of spicy just start out with a little and work your way up. If a mail-order bride can learn to love some guy she's never met before you can learn to love cayenne.
Fill your favorite chalice or sports bottle with ice and top off with cold water. Drink during your workout.
