Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Gently warm the water. Avoid boiling, as excessive heat can diminish the beneficial properties of honey.
- Add the honey and lemon juice to the warm water.
- Stir thoroughly until the honey is fully dissolved and the drink is well combined.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an added boost of flavor and health benefits, infuse the water with a few thin slices of fresh ginger before adding the honey and lemon. Simply steep the ginger in hot water for 5 minutes, strain, and proceed as usual.
- If you prefer a chilled version, dissolve the honey in a small amount of warm water first, then top up with chilled water and ice before stirring in the lemon juice.
- To enhance presentation and aroma, garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh mint or a thin lemon wheel right before serving.
- If using raw or organic honey, avoid adding it to boiling water. Let the water cool slightly (to about 40°C/104°F) before stirring in the honey to preserve its beneficial enzymes and nutrients.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the honey and lemon to your liking. Start with less and add more until you reach your desired sweetness and tartness.
- Experiment with other citrus fruits like lime or orange for a different flavor profile.
- For a richer flavor, use Manuka honey or another variety with a distinct taste.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover honey-lemon water in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's best enjoyed fresh, however.
