  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 0 minutes
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (not boiling)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • Optional: a pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1 to 2 thin slices of fresh ginger
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (unfiltered)

Directions

  1. Warm the water until it is pleasantly warm but not hot. Water that is too hot can reduce the beneficial properties of honey and may make the drink taste bitter.
  2. Pour the warm water into a mug.
  3. Add the fresh lemon juice and stir gently.
  4. Mix in the raw honey until fully dissolved. If using ginger or apple cider vinegar, add them at this stage.
  5. If you enjoy a hint of spice, sprinkle in a small pinch of cinnamon and stir again.
  6. Sip slowly while the tonic is still warm for the most soothing experience.

Notes

If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, increase the lemon juice to 1½ tablespoons. For a more calming morning tonic, use ginger slices and let them steep for a minute or two before drinking. If you include apple cider vinegar, start with just 1 teaspoon until you get used to the tang. This drink is meant to be gentle, so adjust ingredients to your taste and comfort level. Always avoid boiling water when working with honey to keep its natural enzymes intact.

This tonic is best enjoyed on an empty stomach, but you can also sip it alongside breakfast. If you are sensitive to acidic drinks, consider adding a little extra warm water to make the taste milder. You can also prepare a chilled version by mixing all ingredients with cool water and adding ice for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up.
