To make lemon water in the morning, simply combine fresh lemon juice with water. Here's how:
Steps to Prepare Lemon Water
- Squeeze the Lemon: Squeeze the juice from half a fresh lemon into a glass or mug.
- Add Water: Pour about 8 ounces (1 cup) of water into the glass. You can use warm, room temperature, or cold water, depending on your preference.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture to ensure the lemon juice is well combined with the water.
- Drink Immediately: It's best to drink lemon water right after you make it to get the most benefits from the fresh lemon.
Optional Additions
- Sweetener: If you find the lemon water too tart, you can add a small amount of natural sweetener, such as honey or stevia.
- Ginger: Add a small piece of grated ginger for an extra health boost and a slightly spicy flavor.
- Mint: A few fresh mint leaves can add a refreshing twist to your lemon water.
The video reference also suggests that lemon water, while acidic, gets converted into alkaline compounds in the body, potentially helping to maintain the body's pH balance.
