Description

This mineral-rich morning drink blends Himalayan pink salt with warm water and lemon to jumpstart hydration and digestive flow. It’s simple, customizable, and ideal for those seeking a gentle wellness ritual that fits into detox routines or intermittent fasting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) filtered warm water (about 120°F / 49°C)
  • ¼ teaspoon finely ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (approx. ½ lemon)
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon raw honey (mild sweetness)
  • Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper (metabolic warmth)
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
  • Optional: 2 thin slices fresh ginger root
  • Optional: ice cubes and fresh mint (for chilled version)

Instructions

  1. Warm the filtered water and pour it into a heat-resistant mug.
  2. Add the pink salt and stir until the crystals fully dissolve.
  3. Mix in the lemon juice to brighten the base.
  4. Stir in any optional add-ins: ACV, honey, cayenne, or ginger.
  5. Whisk or stir well so the flavors combine smoothly.
  6. Sip slowly, preferably before eating or drinking anything else.
  7. Let your body absorb it for 15 minutes before your next meal.

Notes

  • Citrus variation: Try fresh lime juice for a refreshing alternative.
  • Iced twist: Let it cool, add mint, and serve over ice.
  • Go slow with vinegar: If new to ACV, begin with a few drops.
  • Ginger method: Steep ginger slices for a few minutes, then remove for a smoother taste.
  • Caution: If you’re managing blood pressure or kidney issues, consult a healthcare provider before increasing sodium intake.
