Ingredients
  

  • 1 glass water (8–10 oz)
  • 1 pinch mineral salt
  • 0.5 tsp lemon juice or honey

Equipment

  • drinking glass
  • teaspoon
  • stirring spoon

Method
 

  1. Fill a glass with fresh drinking water.
  2. Add a small pinch of mineral salt to the water.
  3. Stir until the salt dissolves completely in the water.
  4. Add lemon juice or honey to balance the flavor.
  5. Stir again briefly and drink immediately while fresh.

Notes

Use only a small pinch of mineral salt to avoid an overly salty taste. Lemon juice adds freshness while honey provides mild sweetness. Drink immediately after mixing for best flavor. This mixture works best as an occasional hydration drink rather than a daily routine.
