A gentle detoxifying drink that combines the alkalizing properties of baking soda with the cleansing freshness of lemon. It’s often used as a morning tonic to support digestion and hydration. The key is moderation — too much baking soda can upset your stomach and alter your body’s acid balance.
INGREDIENTS:
– 1 cup warm water (not hot)
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– Optional: 1 teaspoon honey for taste
INSTRUCTION:
1. Warm the water until it’s comfortable to drink.
2. Add lemon juice and baking soda.
3. Stir until the baking soda dissolves completely.
4. Drink slowly on an empty stomach in the morning.
5. Wait 15–20 minutes before eating breakfast.
SERVINGS:
Makes one cup (single serving).
NOTE:
– Use food‑grade baking soda only.
– Avoid excessive use; once daily is enough.
– Do not use if you have stomach ulcers or chronic acidity without consulting a healthcare professional.
– Always use fresh lemon juice, not bottled.
