Before You Start
Juice the half lemon and have a mug and spoon ready.
How To Make It
- Warm the water in a kettle or pot, about 1 to 2 minutes, until it is just warm to the touch and comfortable to sip, not hot.
- Squeeze the lemon juice into the warm water.
- Add a small pinch of cayenne and the maple, and stir well so nothing settles at the bottom.
- Sip it slow on an empty stomach.
Fix It: If it tastes too sharp, a touch more maple softens the edge without making it sweet.
