MSG Free Sea Salt Lemon Water
There is something quietly refreshing about a glass of cold lemon water done right, and the addition of a pinch of fine sea salt takes it from basic to genuinely craveable. The salt rounds out the bright citrus edge and gives the drink a subtle mineral quality that makes it feel more satisfying than plain water alone. For anyone navigating flavor enhancers and additives in packaged beverages, this is as clean as it gets — just fresh lemon juice, water, and a single natural seasoning. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a citrus juicer and a glass. Serve it over ice for a crisp, hydrating drink that works first thing in the morning, alongside a meal, or any time you want something light and reviving.
