How to make Lemon water?
Use tap water if possible or purified water. Use warm or even hot water.
You want to avoid ice cold water, since that can be a lot for your body to process and it takes more energy to process ice cold water than warm water.
Make sure you always use fresh lemons, organic lemons if possible. Don’t use the bottled lemon juice.
Squeeze 1/2 a lemon per glass and drink it first thing in the morning before eating or doing anything!
