Description

This trending Japanese pink salt recipe combines mineral-rich salt, lemon juice, and honey into a simple morning drink that supports digestion, hydration, and a fresh start to your day.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm (not hot water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Japanese pink salt (or Himalayan salt)
  • 1 teaspoon raw or high-quality honey
  • Juice of half a fresh lemon
  • Optional: Pinch of ginger powder or a small slice of fresh ginger
  • Optional: 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or mint leaves (for variation)


Instructions

  1. Pour warm water into a cup or mug (not hot—this preserves honey and lemon benefits).
  2. Add the pink salt and stir until fully dissolved.
  3. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
  4. Stir in the honey until combined.
  5. Optionally, add ginger or apple cider vinegar for extra benefits.
  6. Stir well and sip slowly on an empty stomach.

Notes

Warm water helps dissolve salt and honey and is easier on digestion.

Adjust salt or honey levels based on your taste preferences.

For a stronger effect, drink this before your morning coffee or breakfast.

You can swap honey for maple syrup or leave it out for a sugar-free version.Best enjoyed fresh. If necessary, store in the fridge in a sealed jar and consume within 24 hours.

Do not reheat in the microwave—use lukewarm water if preparing ahead.Nutrient Approximate Value
