Equipment
- 1 Glass or mason jar
- 1 Spoon for stirring
Ingredients
For the Drink
- 8-12 oz water room temperature or lukewarm
- 1/16 tsp pink Himalayan salt a small pinch, not a spoonful
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 1 tsp raw honey optional
Instructions
Prepare the Water
- Fill a glass with 8 to 12 ounces of room-temperature or lukewarm water.
- Add 1/16 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt to the water -- closer to a pinch than a full spoonful.
- Stir well until the salt fully dissolves. Warm water dissolves salt faster than cold water.
Add the Flavor
- Squeeze in about 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, roughly half a lemon.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of raw honey if you want a milder, less salty taste. This is optional.
- Taste the drink and add a touch more lemon or honey if the salt flavor is too strong.
- Drink right away, on an empty stomach if that is part of your routine, or any time of day.
Notes
This is a hydration and electrolyte habit, not a verified weight-loss method -- see the article for the real research. Skip this if you have high blood pressure, kidney issues, or a sodium-restricted diet. Use fine pink Himalayan salt so it dissolves fully.
