Notes

  • Store: This warm lemon water recipe is meant to drink immediately. See post for cold variations that can be stored in the refrigerator. 
  • To make warm water: I usually mix boiling water from a kettle and fridge filtered water. Another option is to turn off kettle before water reaches boiling. You just have to wait by the kettle and turn it off on time.
  • Type of lemon: Regular organic lemons found commonly in the supermarket. Avoid Meyer lemons or bottled lemon juice.
