Lemons have been know for years to be a healthy way to detox in the morning. For a time, I was squeezing 1/2 a lemon in warm glass of water and drinking it before drinking or eating anything else in the morning. My skin felt clearer and my allergies and bloating lessened over those months.
I wanted to try a healthier, tastier version of this for my daughter and I to drink in the mornings. I merged a couple recipes I have seen online to this. The honey adds light sweetness that makes it more palatable to my 10 year old! It helps make a good morning!
Morning Detox Booster Water
2 lemons, sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced
10-12 mint leaves
3qts cold water
4 Tbsp. honey melted in 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat
Infuse 8 hours in a pitcher.
