Pink Salt Trick Recipe
Equipment
- Small kettle or saucepan
- Citrus juicer (optional but helpful)
- Measuring spoons
- Tall glass or mug
- Spoon for stirring
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup warm filtered water
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- A few mint leaves
- Thin cucumber slices
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- I personally keep it simple most days with just lemon and pink salt.
Instructions
Step 1: Warm the Water
- Heat the water until warm but not boiling.
- You want it comfortable to sip, not piping hot. Extremely hot water can make the drink taste harsher and overpower the fresh lemon flavor.
Step 2: Add the Pink Salt
- Stir the Himalayan pink salt into the warm water until fully dissolved.
- The color may look slightly cloudy at first, which is totally normal.
Step 3: Add Fresh Lemon Juice
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir again.
- Fresh lemon really matters here. Bottled lemon juice can taste flat and slightly bitter.
Step 4: Add Optional Ingredients
- If using honey or apple cider vinegar, stir them in now.
- For a refreshing summer version, I sometimes add cucumber slices and mint leaves.
Step 5: Sip Slowly
- Drink slowly instead of chugging it.
- That slow sipping ritual is honestly part of the whole experience.
