  • 1 glass of filtered water


Preparation:

Serving and Storage Tips:

  • Serve chilled or with ice for a refreshing experience.

  • Drink first thing in the morning or before meals to support digestion and liver activation.

  • If preparing ahead, store in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to preserve freshness and prevent nutrient loss.

Variants:
