Description

A simple 4-ingredient morning detox drink made with Himalayan pink salt, warm water, and lemon juice. This metabolism-supporting recipe is a viral wellness ritual for boosting hydration, digestion, and energy, perfect before breakfast or workouts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ tsp Himalayan pink salt

  • 8 oz warm filtered water

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • Optional: ½ tsp raw honey, pinch of cayenne


Instructions

  • Pour warm filtered water into a heat-safe glass.

  • Add Himalayan pink salt and stir until fully dissolved.

  • Mix in fresh lemon juice.

  • Optional: Add raw honey and cayenne, then stir briskly.

  • Sip slowly over 2–3 minutes. Wait 15 minutes before eating or drinking coffee.

Notes

Do not use table salt—it lacks the essential minerals found in pink salt.

Drink on an empty stomach for maximum absorption and digestive benefits.

Avoid boiling water to preserve lemon’s vitamin C and enzyme integrity.

For summer, chill the mixture and serve over ice with mint or lime.
