No, a green tea and lemon detox drink has not been shown to flush toxins from the body. Your liver and kidneys handle normal waste processing; this drink does not cleanse them or replace their work.
A detox drink does not directly cause fat loss or weight loss. Choosing it instead of a sugary drink may reduce your overall calorie intake, but it has no special slimming effect.
Steep green tea in hot water according to the tea’s instructions, then add lemon once it has cooled slightly. This keeps the tea from becoming overly bitter; sweetener is optional, not necessary.
You can drink it during pregnancy only while keeping its green tea caffeine in mind. Count it toward your total caffeine intake and follow your clinician’s advice, since recommended limits can depend on your circumstances.
Yes, it contains caffeine because it is made with green tea. The amount varies with the tea and brewing method, so a strongly brewed cup may affect you more than a lightly brewed one.
It may interfere with sleep because green tea contains caffeine. If caffeine makes you feel alert or delays your sleep, have this drink earlier in the day rather than close to bedtime.
Yes, you can serve it cold. Brew the green tea first, let it cool, add lemon, and refrigerate it; pouring hot tea directly over ice can dilute its flavor as the ice melts.
It can cause discomfort in some people, though it does not commonly cause bloating by itself. The acidity of lemon or sensitivity to tea may be a trigger; stop drinking it if symptoms consistently follow.
Keep it covered and refrigerated, and aim to drink it the same day you make it. Discard it if it has been left out for a long time or its smell, taste, or appearance changes.
Lemon adds tart flavor and vitamin C, but there is no good evidence that it makes the drink detoxify your body more effectively. Add it for taste rather than expecting a cleansing effect.

Detox drink (green tea, lemon) combines brewed green tea with lemon juice or slices. It can be served hot or chilled; despite its name, it is simply a flavoured tea drink rather than a special cleansing remedy.
The lightly bitter, grassy tea is balanced by lemon’s bright acidity. In many places it makes a refreshing cold drink, while in cooler weather it can be enjoyed warm; serve it alongside a meal or as a simple afternoon drink. Without added sugar, it is very low in calories, with 6 calories per 100 g. For a gentler flavour, use less lemon, or add mint instead of sweetening it.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
