How to Make Natural Mounjaro Tea Recipe for Weight Loss

Classic Butterfly Pea Tea Version

Boil the water
Bring 500 ml of water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. This helps fully draw out the color and flavor from the butterfly pea flowers.
Steep the flowers
Remove the pan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of dried butterfly pea flowers. Let it steep uncovered for about 10 minutes. The water should turn a deep blue.
Strain (optional)
If you prefer a smoother tea, strain out the flowers using a fine mesh sieve. You can also leave them in for a more rustic look totally up to you.
Add flavor boosters
While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Watch the color shift instantly to purple it’s a mini science show in your mug.
Sweeten if desired
Add 1 tablespoon of honey, or any sweetener of your choice, and stir until dissolved. This step is optional.
Serve hot or chilled
Pour into a mug and enjoy warm, or let it cool slightly and pour over ice for a refreshing iced version. Add a few mint leaves or a lemon slice for a finishing touch.

Pro Tips & Troubleshooting

Expert Tips

Use freshly boiled water: This helps release the deep blue hue of butterfly pea flowers quickly and evenly.
Add lemon juice last: Don’t skip the timing! Adding lemon after steeping guarantees the vibrant color change.
Taste before sweetening: Start without honey. The tea has a naturally earthy flavor that might not need it.
Make it ahead: Brew a double batch and store it chilled for up to 24 hours. It’s perfect for hot days.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using too much lemon juice: It can overpower the tea and make it overly tart.
Forgetting to strain (if needed): If you’re not a fan of floating petals, strain before serving.
Oversteeping: More than 10 minutes can turn the tea bitter, especially if left covered.
Adding salt without measuring – If trying the pink salt version, use less than ⅛ teaspoon too much will ruin the taste fast.

Bonus Trick

Try freezing the steeped tea in an ice cube tray. Add the frozen cubes to plain water for a slow-release flavor boost with color flair. Great for parties or hot afternoons.

Serving, Storage & Variations

How to Serve It

Hot: Pour into a large mug and sip it warm as a pre-breakfast reset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does natural mounjaro tea help with weight loss?

This tea isn’t a magic bullet, but pre-meal hydration can help. A randomized trial from the University of Birmingham found that drinking water before meals supported weight loss in adults with obesity.

When should I drink it for best results?

For most, it works well first thing in the morning or about 30 minutes before meals. If using apple cider vinegar or pink salt, avoid drinking it more than twice per day.

Does the pink salt trick break a fast?

Technically, yes. Pink salt and apple cider vinegar both trigger digestion. However, many people include them in modified fasting routines because of the minimal calorie and carb impact.

Can I make it without caffeine?

Yes. This version is naturally caffeine-free, and most herbal teas are caffeine-free by nature.

How much pink salt should I use per serving?

If adding it, keep it to a tiny pinch per 12 oz serving, because the CDC recommends less than 2,300 mg sodium per day for teens and adults.

Is it safe if I take blood pressure medication?

Always consult your doctor first. Apple cider vinegar may interact with medicines such as insulin and digoxin, and the FDA advises adults to limit daily sodium to under 2,300 mg.

Do I need both lemon juice and apple cider vinegar?

They work together to balance the flavor and support the tea’s “cleansing” profile. You can omit one or the other if you prefer, but you’ll miss the bright acidity and the full color transformation.
