Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper, a teaspoon of honey, or a few slices of fresh ginger for added flavor
Directions
Start by washing the lemon thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a cup. You can use a citrus juicer or simply squeeze by hand.

Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Prepare a fresh cup of lemon water each morning for the best taste and benefits.
