Equipment

  • Kettle
  • Knife
  • Mug

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Filtered Water
  • ¼ Organic Lemon (Juice and Rind)

Instructions
 

  • Bring filtered water to a boil.
  • While the water is boiling, cut a lemon into slices or wedges.
  • There’s no right or wrong way to make hot lemon water. 
    One way is to squeeze the juice of a lemon wedge into your mug. You can also add the rind or sliced rounds for added digestive benefits and vitamin C.
    Another way is to simply place a few sliced lemon rounds into your mug.
    Once you’ve added your lemon, pour the boiled water over. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before sipping.
    You can remove the lemon rinds once you’re satisfied with the strength. If left too long, the rinds can create a bitter taste.
    However, if you will be drinking your lemon water quickly, leaving the rind in adds more nutritional value and digestive benefits.

Notes

You can use up to ½ of a lemon if you like a stronger flavour.
Add up to a teaspoon of raw honey to add some natural sweeteness
