1/2tspturmeric
Instructions
Heat water and dilute in a glass with room temperature water from the copper vessel to achieve lukewarm temperature (98° - 105°F / 36.5° - 40.5°C)
Squeeze 1/2 a lemon (approximately 2 tbsp) into the water
Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of honey. The mixture should be pleasant, not too sweet or too sour.
Enjoy your lemon water as is first thing in the morning. To receive maximum benefits, you should have your first meal no sooner than 30 minutes after having this drink.
Optional
If you practice yoga, meditation, or other physical activity in the morning, you might want to take your lemon water with neem and turmeric*. Neem and turmeric as a combination is very conducive for yogic practices as well because it dilates the cellular structure of the body so it can absorb more energy.
Notes
* If you're using turmeric powder, you should also add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper for better turmeric absorption. If you're taking capsules, be sure to check ingredients for black pepper.
