Lemon water is a powerful way to hydrate, cleanse, and invigorate your body each morning. Tap and bottled water can lose their natural vitality , but by adding freshly squeezed lemon juice, you re-energize the water and enhance its ability to nourish your cells more effectively.

How to Make Lemon Water

Ingredients:

½ fresh squeezed lemon per 16 oz (2 cups) of water = approx. 475 ml
Optional:
- add 1 teaspoon of raw, unfiltered honey to increase hydration.
- use warm (not hot) purified water for the fastest absorption

Instructions:

Squeeze the juice of a full lemon into 32 oz of water (=4 cups or 1L)
- or half a lemon into 16 oz / 475 ml of water
Drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach right after waking up for maximum health benefits.
- Optional: Continue sipping lemon water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support your body’s natural detox and digestion .

Pro tip: For optimal results, mix your lemon and honey into warm (not hot) water — about 37–43°C (98–110°F). Water that’s too hot may destroy the enzymes in raw honey and reduce the potency of vitamin C in lemon juice.
