🧾 Ingredient Details & Substitution Tips
Ingredient Insights
- Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon helps stimulate digestion, provides Vitamin C, and gives a refreshing tart flavor.

- Himalayan Pink Salt: Rich in trace minerals and helps with hydration/electrolyte balance. A small pinch is all you need.
- Water: Preferably filtered or spring water for purity.
Substitutions
- No pink salt? Use sea salt, but avoid iodized table salt.
- Don’t like ACV? Try a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice for tartness with added antioxidants.
- Add mint leaves or cucumber slices for infusion and flavor.
