Ingredients

For the concentrate (makes about 7 servings):

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoon Japanese pink salt or pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 tablespoon raw honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)

For each daily serving:

  • 1 tablespoon pink salt concentrate
  • 1 cup (8 oz) warm filtered water

Instructions

  • Juice the lemons until you have ¼ cup of fresh juice, straining out seeds.
  • Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger, if using, until you have about 1 tablespoon.
  • In a glass jar, combine the lemon juice, pink salt, honey, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until the salt is mostly dissolved and the mixture looks faintly pink and mostly clear.
  • Seal the jar and refrigerate. The concentrate keeps for up to 7 days.
  • Each morning, warm 1 cup of filtered water to about 100–110°F and stir in 1 tablespoon of the concentrate. Drink before coffee or food.

Notes

  • If you have high blood pressure, kidney issues, or are on a sodium-restricted diet, talk to your doctor before adding a daily salt ritual to your routine.
  • Shake or stir the concentrate before each use, as the salt can settle at the bottom of the jar over a few days.
  • This recipe is a hydration ritual, not a weight-loss treatment — any results are far more likely tied to reduced snacking and better morning hydration than to any special property of the salt itself.
