Greetings to all my dear friends. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today I am sharing with you all a very easy, healthy and refreshing lemon water recipe. In the summer season, the body begins to feel dehydrated due to the hot sun and intense heat, due to which one feels tired, lethargic and weak. In such a season, if fresh lemon water is prepared at home, not only thirst is quenched, but the body also gets instant refreshment and energy. I prefer to drink homemade lemon water in summers instead of market drinks because it is natural, healthy and very cheap.

• One Cup of sugar

• One Teaspoon of salt

• Three fresh lemon

• One Jug of cold water

First I took a clean and dry vessel to mix all the ingredients easily. I then added about one cup of sugar to the pot. Sugar lemon imparts a slight sweetness to the water which combines with the tartness of the lemon to give the best taste. If one likes it more or less sweet, he can also change the amount of sugar according to his preference.

After that I added a teaspoon of salt. In summer, the body sweats out salts, so adding a little salt to lemon water not only makes it taste better but is also beneficial for the body. The combination of salt and sugar makes this drink more palatable.

Now I added cold water to the pot. After adding the water, I mixed it a little with a spoon so that the sugar and salt slowly start to dissolve in the water. Cold water adds to the freshness of this drink in the summer season and makes it very enjoyable to drink.

I then took a fresh and juicy lemon, washed it thoroughly and squeezed all the juice into the water with the help of a lemon squeezer. It is always better to use fresh lemon as it enhances the taste, aroma and nutrition of the drink. As soon as the lemon juice was added, its aroma spread throughout the kitchen, which felt very pleasant.

Now I mixed all the ingredients well with the help of a spoon so that the sugar dissolves completely in the water and the lemon juice, salt and water mix well. After mixing for a few minutes, the lemon water was completely ready and the color was also very beautiful.

Finally I poured the prepared lemonade into a beautiful glass and garnished it with a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass. If a few ice cubes are added to it, its taste and freshness increases manifold. This drink really cools the body in the hot summer season and within a few moments one feels more refreshed than before.

Lemon water is not only a delicious drink but also has numerous health benefits. The vitamin C present in it helps in improving the immunity of the body and is also considered beneficial for skin health. Lemon water helps to replenish the water and salt deficit in the body during summer when the body sweats more. It is also an excellent choice for improving digestion, reducing fatigue and keeping the body hydrated. Also, homemade lemonade is more natural, safe and healthy than market cold drinks as it does not contain artificial colors or harmful chemicals.

I think lemon water should be made in every home during summer season. It is not only ready in few minutes but also makes a great and healthy drink at a very low cost. I find the best part about it is that it can be made as sweet or sour as you like. Whenever the weather is very hot or you come home tired from outside, a glass of cold lemon water refreshes both body and mind. I try to drink as many natural drinks as possible in the summer instead of artificial ones, and lemon water is one of my favorite drinks.

Thank you all so much for reading my post. If you also make lemon water in summer, do share your methods and experiences. Allah Hafiz!🍋
