Black Pepper Free Sea Salt Lemon Water
Bright, bracing, and endlessly refreshing, this lemon water is the kind of simple drink that makes you wonder why you ever reached for something out of a bottle. Fresh lemon juice brings a clean tartness, while a small pinch of fine sea salt rounds out the flavor in a way that feels surprisingly satisfying. For anyone navigating a sensitivity to black pepper, even a basic flavored water can be a minefield when pre-made versions sneak in unexpected spice blends or "natural flavors" — this one keeps things completely transparent. Every ingredient is exactly what it says it is: cold water, real lemon, and a touch of salt. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a citrus juicer and a glass, making it an effortless go-to for hydration that actually tastes like something. Serve it over ice on a warm afternoon or sip it first thing in the morning for a gentle, zesty start to the day.
