Description
A refreshing citrus-based tonic designed to support stress balance and hydration for a cozy family ritual.
Ingredients
- 12 to 16 oz cold water (or half water, half coconut water)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (or lime)
- 1 pinch to 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional: magnesium glycinate powder (follow label directions)
- Ice
Instructions
- Fill a glass with ice. Keep the ice level to your taste.
- Add lemon juice and salt. Use fresh juice for the bright taste.
- Pour in water (and coconut water if using). Pour slowly to keep the ice from overflowing.
- Stir well. Move the spoon calmly until the salt dissolves.
- Taste it and adjust with a tiny bit more salt or lemon if needed.
- If using magnesium powder, add it last and stir again. Wait until it dissolves.
- Add honey or maple syrup if you want mild sweetness. Stir until blended.
- Serve right away. Take small sips and breathe before the meal.
Notes
This drink is best fresh, but a base can be prepared in advance. Adjust salt carefully and use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
