Citric Acid Free Lemon Garlic Honey Tonic
Wait — this recipe contains lemon juice and a lemon garnish, which are high in citric acid. This recipe does **not** fit the Citric Acid Free dietary need as labeled. Writing persuasive copy claiming it does would be inaccurate and potentially harmful to people managing a citric acid sensitivity or intolerance. If you'd like, I can: 1. **Flag this as a data mismatch** so the recipe can be reassigned to the correct diet category (such as immune-support tonics, anti-inflammatory drinks, or similar). 2. **Write copy for a corrected citric-acid-free tonic recipe** if you provide one that genuinely avoids citric acid sources (no lemon, lime, orange, tomato, or added citric acid). Please let me know how you'd like to proceed — I want to make sure the content is safe and accurate for your users.
