Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large fresh lemons (about 1 cup or 240 ml fresh lemon juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
- 4 cups (1 liter) cold water
- Ice cubes as needed
- Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or thin lemon slices
Instructions
- Cut lemons in half and use a citrus juicer to extract about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds.
- In a pitcher, combine 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey with 1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt. Stir well to dissolve the salt into the honey (about 1–2 minutes).
- Pour the fresh lemon juice into the honey-salt mixture and stir to blend.
- Add 4 cups (1 liter) of cold water to the pitcher and stir thoroughly to combine.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed by adding more honey or salt.
- Add ice cubes to the pitcher or pour over individual glasses filled with ice. Garnish with mint leaves or lemon slices if desired. Serve cold.
- Optional: For a fizzy version, add sparkling water right before serving.
Notes
Use fresh lemons for best flavor. Adjust honey and salt gradually to balance sweetness and saltiness. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to blend flavors. Avoid iodized table salt; pink Himalayan salt adds unique minerals. For a fizzy twist, add sparkling water just before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days and stir before serving.
