We regularly drink lemon water. This method was a game changer for us. As for preparation, it’s as simple as it gets. The result, with some added honey is so soothing. Lemons come in different sizes. I look for the largest lemons to have on hand.

Ingredients

Water, 1 quart

Lemon, 1 large

Honey, 1 tsp per cup

Preparation

Bring water to a boil. Cut a fresh lemon into 6ths and squeeze into a tea pot. Then add the squeezed lemon into the tea pot. Pour boiling water over the cut lemon. Place the lid on the tea pot. Optional to cover with a tea cozy. Allow to steep for one hour. Pour a cup and add one teaspoon honey. Sip while warm. Place leftovers, including the lemon pieces, in the refrigerator to drink the next day.
