DIY Detox Water

Okay so um, you may feel that the combination of lemon and green apple is a little weird but trust me ! It tastes a lot better than just lemon alone (even though lemon water is already a very good detox water) Since my detox water includes lemon in it, these are the 10 benefits of drinking Lemon water :

While here are the benefits of Green Apples :

Why did i come up with the combination of lemon and green apple ? Well basically it's because i found green apples in my fridge when i was about to make my lemon detox water so i was like " why not ?" Since every fruit has it's benefits.

Detox waters are very easy to make and you can add in any fruit you want according to your goal and which fruit you like.

These are what you'll need :
- Knife (Please be careful with it !)
- Warm water
- Lemon squeezers (i'm squeezing it by hand)
- Fruits of your choice
> For me it's 1 Green apple and 3 lemons ;It totally depends on yourself !)
- Organic honey (honey also has health benefits and also to make your detox drink sweeter ! )
> Normal honey is fine but the Organic ones are healthier so i'm using that.

Step 1 : Cut the lemons into half and squeeze (this is basically self-explanatory)
Please be careful while cutting !
Don't squeeze all ! Leave 1 half lemon unsqueezed. 

 

Step 2 : Cut the remaining half lemon into slices for them to be soaked

Step 3 : Prepare your warm water in a jug and add in the lemon juice and the slices

 

Step 4: Cut the green apple into slices and add them into the jug

 

Step 5: Add in the honey

Add in the honey only when the water has cooled down !

Why did i have some of the lemon sliced ?

The reason why i wanted some to be sliced and added in is so that even after you've finished the first batch of your detox water, you can still add in more water to continue drinking it. Because when you have finished the first batch of detox water, chances are, the lemon juices you added in previously have already been drunk so this is when the lemon slices comes in handy. It gives off the lemon juice and flavour.

Why did i add in honey at the last step ?

This is because by the time i'm done cutting up the apple, the warm water has already cooled down.

Not sure whether adding honey into hot/warm water would make it toxic but it's better to be save than sorry !

With the lemon peels, you can reuse it as a scrub/exfoliator

All you need to do is just add sugar onto it and exfoliate ! I've seen some recipes that requires olive oil and etc but i don't really like the feeling of oil on my face, so i've decided to go with just lemon and sugar instead. It still works the same tho.
In this case, i've used Organic brown sugar.

Till then, xx.
