Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice – Bottled lemon juice doesn't compare in flavor or nutritional value.
- Start with 1/4 tsp pink salt – Only add more if truly needed, as too much can overpower the lemon flavor.
- Adjust ingredients to taste – Personalize the flavor to your liking.
- Juice lemons in advance for convenience – Store fresh juice in a sealed jar in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Store lemonade properly – Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Benefits of pink salt & lemon:
- Pink salt provides electrolytes & trace minerals for cellular hydration.
- Lemon offers Vitamin C, aids digestion, and supports detoxification.
- Salt enhances flavor – A small amount balances sweetness and tartness, making lemonade taste brighter.
- Pink salt water in moderation – Generally safe for mineral replenishment and hydration.
