Instructions
1-Roll and juice lemons: Roll lemons on the counter to loosen juice. Juice ½ to 2 lemons, straining out seeds.
2-Prepare ginger: Peel fresh ginger using the edge of a spoon, then grate directly into a glass or jar. For a smoother drink, strain through cheesecloth if desired.
3-Mix lemon juice, ginger, and apple cider vinegar: Combine ingredients and add optional honey or natural sweetener. Stir until fully dissolved.
4-Add water: Pour in 1 to 2 cups of warm or room temperature filtered water. For a fizzy twist, replace half the water with unsweetened seltzer.
5-Add optional boosters: Incorporate spices or powders like cayenne, cinnamon, turmeric, butterfly pea flower infusion, yerba mate tea, or camu camu powder.
6-Serve: Enjoy immediately for best flavor and nutrient retention. Chill or add ice for a refreshing cold drink.
