Beef Free Morning Lemon Water
Starting your morning with a warm mug of lemon water is one of the simplest rituals you can add to your routine, and this version keeps things clean and intentional. Fresh lemon juice brings a bright, citrusy lift that wakes up your senses before the day even gets going. The optional pinch of ground ginger adds a gentle warmth and a subtle spice that makes the whole thing feel a little more special than plain water. Heating the water to just below a boil — that sweet spot around 170–180°F — means it's soothing to sip right away without burning your tongue. It comes together in just a few minutes with barely any cleanup, making it an effortless addition to even the busiest mornings. Whether you're easing into a lighter eating day or just looking for a grounding first sip before coffee, this little drink delivers.
