Heat about 200 milliliters of filtered water until it feels warm to the touch. Aim for a temperature around 120 degrees Fahrenheit or 49 degrees Celsius. Do not use boiling or cold water. Warm water helps dissolve the salt and supports your digestion gently.

Add one-fourth teaspoon of fine Himalayan pink salt to the warm water. Make sure it is completely dissolved before drinking. If the salt sits at the bottom or feels gritty, stir a bit longer until fully clear.

Add the juice of half a lemon. Fresh juice gives better results than bottled lemon juice and adds a clean flavor.

This is the stage where you can mix in your preferred boosters. Try a pinch of cayenne pepper, half a teaspoon of raw honey, a splash of apple cider vinegar, or a few slices of fresh ginger. Choose one or mix a few based on your taste and goals.

Stir everything together until smooth. Sip the drink slowly over two to three minutes. Avoid gulping it down. A slow sip gives your body time to absorb and respond to the nutrients.
