Xanthan Gum Free Sea Salt Lemon Water
There is something quietly satisfying about a glass of cold, bright lemon water that actually has a little depth to it. The pinch of fine sea salt is the secret here — it rounds out the tartness of the fresh lemon juice and makes the whole drink feel more refreshing than plain water ever could. This is the kind of recipe that takes about two minutes to pull together and somehow feels like a treat anyway. For anyone navigating a long list of additives and thickeners to avoid, this one is completely in the clear — just water, fresh citrus, and a touch of salt, nothing more. It's a genuinely clean, simple drink that works as a morning ritual, a midday reset, or a palate cleanser between meals. Squeeze, stir, sip, and repeat.
