Ingredients

  • 1 lemon
  • 2 cups filtered water

Instructions

  • Roll your lemon against a cutting board or a hard surface to help break it down a bit.
  • Squeeze ½ lemon into a bowl or a jar and take out the seeds. You can also use a lemon squeezer.
  • For warm lemon water, mix 1/3 boiling water with ¼ cold filtered water. Alternatively, pour water in a kettle but turn it off just before the water starts boiling. Stir with a spoon and enjoy while warm. Best taken in the morning.
  • For cold lemon water, add ½ squeezed lemon juice into a cup of cold water and enjoy on a warm afternoon.
