(Often misleadingly called “Homemade Mounjaro” online)

Description

This refreshing lemon-ginger hydration drink combines water, apple cider vinegar, pink Himalayan salt, and ginger to support hydration, digestion, and electrolyte balance. It’s commonly consumed in the morning or before meals and is popular in wellness circles as a natural alternative to sugary beverages.

Ingredients
