Black lemonade is a refreshing drink that gets its black color from activated charcoal.
Activated charcoal has many health benefits, including preventing hunger, whitening teeth, anti-aging, and flushing toxins from the body. It works by binding to toxins that are excreted from the body. (The link above has a more scientific explanation of how it works.)
*I’m not a doctor, so do your homework before taking activated charcoal! It may interfere with some medications.
