8 oz warm filtered water (240 ml) (~120 °F / 49 °C)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
Optional Boosters
½ tsp raw honey (for mild sweetness)
1 small pinch cayenne pepper (for thermogenic kick)

Notes
Flavor Swap: Use lime juice in place of lemon for a tropical variation.
Ginger Infusion: Steep two thin ginger slices for 5 minutes, then discard for extra stomach-soothing benefits.
ACV Boost: Add ½ teaspoon raw apple-cider vinegar for probiotic support.
Iced Version: Chill, muddle fresh mint leaves, and pour over ice as a refreshing summer electrolyte drink.
