Honey Lemon Water Recipe
Combine:
- Juice from ¼ to ½ of a lemon
- 1 cup of freshly boiled, slightly cooled water (just warm enough to melt the honey, any hotter will remove the nutritional value)
- 1 tsp of raw honey (more or less to taste)
Mix gently in your Libre glass and enjoy.
For a bit of a citrus twist try using limes, oranges or grapefruit for an afternoon refreshment.
