It's up to you whether lemon water is better hot or cold; there's no definitive advantage to either temperature. Personal preference dictates which is "better."
Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
-
Personal Preference: The ideal temperature depends on your individual taste. Some find warm lemon water soothing, especially in the morning or during colder months. Others prefer the refreshing crispness of cold lemon water.
-
Digestion: While some believe warm water aids digestion, there's limited scientific evidence to support a significant difference compared to cold water.
-
Other Considerations:
- You can add other flavors to your lemon water, such as orange slices, mint leaves, or a touch of honey.
- Consider juicing lemons in advance and freezing the juice in ice cube trays for convenience.
- Rolling a lemon before juicing it can help extract more juice.
Ultimately, the "best" temperature for lemon water is the one you enjoy the most and are most likely to drink consistently.
