Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of hot water, not boiling
  • 13 teaspoons of maple syrup, to taste
  • Juice of one medium Meyer lemon, freshly squeezed

Notes

  • This recipe is warming. If you want it for a hot afternoon, just use cold water instead of hot.

  • If you are watching carbs, just use less maple syrup. Do not replace this with artificial sweetener
