- Prepare the Lemon and Ginger:
- Wash the lemon thoroughly and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves and set it aside.
- Peel the ginger root and slice it thinly or grate it to release more of its juices.
- Boil the Ginger:
- In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the sliced or grated ginger.
- Reduce the heat and let the ginger simmer in the water for about 10 minutes. This allows the ginger to infuse the water with its beneficial compounds.
- Mix in the Lemon Juice:
- After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the ginger water into a cup or pitcher.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the ginger water and stir well.
- Optional Add-Ins:
- If you like, you can add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten the drink naturally, or a pinch of cayenne pepper to boost metabolism further. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Consume the Drink:
- Drink a cup of this lemon and ginger concoction twice a day—once in the morning on an empty stomach and once in the evening before dinner.
