4 cups of filtered water
1-2 whole lemons, juiced (I love using Meyer's lemons when available- they are big, juicy and so sweet!!)
2-4 inches of fresh ginger, grated (I grate until it gets down to a nub and I start fearing for the safety of my finger tips... then I use a garlic press like a tee-tiny juicer for those end pieces! Be sure to use the pulp in the water to steep out all the goodness.)
2 (or more) teaspoons of Raw Honey
grate/press the ginger and add to the water. let it steep for at least 30 minutes, but it's best to leave in fridge overnight!
strain the ginger pulp and add the lemon and honey.
INJOY!
Choose organic whenever possible! Even organic produce MUST be thoroughly washed as there is still a legal level of pesticides used even in organic farming.
The honey must be RAW, and I've got the BEST Raw Organic Canadian Honey here in the Apothecary... check out what makes this honey so unique!! You will not get the benefits from regular heat-processed honey.
Make a large batch of ginger water and let it sit and steep for a couple days as you go through it. Technically you don't add the lemon and honey until just before drinking (though I have let it steep with all 3 ingredients and it was fine... #imlazy)
*this recipe and so many others can be found in the Medical Medium, Anthony Williams' book, "Cleanse To Heal" . I HIGHLY recommend the everyone have a hard copy of this book in their home.
