Description
This pink salt and lemon morning drink recipe is a simple mineral-rich hydration drink that supports energy, digestion, and hydration first thing in the morning.
Ingredients
1/4 teaspoon fine Himalayan pink salt
16 ounces filtered water, room temperature or slightly warm
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon (about 1โ2 tablespoons)
1/8 teaspoon raw honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
1. Fill a large glass or jar with 16 ounces of filtered water at room temperature or slightly warm.
2. Measure 1/4 teaspoon of fine Himalayan pink salt and add it to the water.
3. Cut a fresh lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass, straining out any seeds.
4. Stir the drink thoroughly for at least 30 seconds, until all of the pink salt has completely dissolved.
5. Taste the drink and, if desired, stir in up to 1/8 teaspoon of raw honey to gently soften the tart, salty flavor.
6. Sip the pink salt and lemon morning drink slowly within 15 minutes of waking, on an empty stomach, over about 5โ10 minutes.
Notes
For best results, enjoy this pink salt and lemon morning drink recipe daily within 15 minutes of waking before coffee or breakfast.
Use room-temperature or slightly warm water instead of cold water to be gentler on your stomach and to help the salt dissolve more easily.
If the drink tastes too strong at first, start with a scant 1/4 teaspoon of salt or a bit more water, then adjust the ratio over a week as your taste buds adapt.
People who need to limit sodium should talk with a healthcare professional before adding a salted hydration drink to their routine.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free and fits most whole-food and intermittent fasting lifestyle approaches when made without honey.
