Honey Lemon Drink

Ingredients:

2 large lemon (squeeze the juice)
1/4 cup of honey
500 ml of ice cold water
Dash of salt

In a pitcher, mix lemon juice, honey, salt and water. Make sure the honey is completely dissolved. You can adjust the amount of honey to be added depending on your preference, you can also add some ice cubes if you want it to be cold as cold to give you brain freeze. I prefer to drink without ice cubes and chill before drinking. You can also have this as hot or warm drink, it tastes better than the chilled ones.
