Ingredients
Method
Step 1:
- Roll a fresh lemon on the counter, cut it, and squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons juice into a tall glass.
Step 2:
- Add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda directly into the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to fizz.
Step 3:
- Wait 20 to 30 seconds until bubbling slows down.
Step 4:
- Pour 8 ounces chilled filtered water slowly into the glass.
Step 5:
- Add ice cubes, stir gently once if needed, and drink immediately.
Notes
- Do not exceed 1/4 teaspoon baking soda per serving.
- Fresh lemon creates better fizz than bottled juice.
- Drink through a straw to reduce contact with tooth enamel.
- Rinse mouth with plain water after drinking.
- Avoid daily long term use without medical guidance.
