Recipe Tips & Substitutions

- This recipe is best when used within 24 hours. After this the lemon peel begins to make the water slightly bitter.

Hi ! Just wondering if. You can blend fruit after use….if there would be any nutritional value…

It will be mushy…I would probably just get rid of it. At least some of the nutrients are going into the water.
Wow easy and effective and affordable 👌
I’ve made flavored water with lemons and with cucumber, I’ve even made it before with both. I have never used fresh ginger though. This was wonderful and refreshing. Thank you!!!

I’m looking for recipes for meals I can eat that will reduce or even stop my supplement regime.
In your recipe for the water with healthy additions I noticed immediately – “ice cold water”. I have just read that ice cold water is not good for us. Instead drink room temp or warm water.
With your impressive healthy food qualifications, please share your ideas about that.
And. the ads are very unsettling on your website/blog.
You can use room temperature water, if you prefer. There is no scientific evidence that cold water is “not good” for humans. As far as the ads, you can report any that offend you or let me know and I can report them to my ad management company.
I love to keep a pitcher of this in the fridge at all times during hot weather!
