Liver-Happy Morning Elixir

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
• 1 cup warm water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon until you have 1 tablespoon. Fresh lemon juice is preferable for its natural detoxifying properties.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a glass, combine the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup or honey (if using).
