Heat the water until lukewarm (not boiling, so as not to destroy the vitamin C in the lemon).
Squeeze half a lemon and add it to the water.
Mix well and drink on an empty stomach, as soon as you wake up.
Wait at least 20-30 minutes before eating breakfast to maximize the beneficial effects.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Make the drink fresh every morning – freshly squeezed lemon juice is much more effective.
If you're in a hurry in the morning, you can squeeze the lemon the night before and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Avoid plastic containers: lemon juice is acidic and may react with certain materials. Opt for glass.
If the taste is too strong, you can add a few drops of natural honey or a slice of ginger.
Variants:
With fresh ginger: adds a spicy touch and enhances the anti-inflammatory properties.
With organic honey: sweetens the taste and adds antibacterial properties.
With turmeric and black pepper: for an enhanced detox effect.
With fresh mint: for a refreshing note, ideal in the summer months.
