Betsy's Infusion Notes:

🍋 Make-Ahead Friendly: Lasts up to 3 days in the fridge. Discard lemon and ginger after 24 hours to avoid bitterness and refill with fresh water if desired.

🍋 Boost It: Add slices of cucumber or turmeric root for additional detox support.

🍋 Spa Pairing: Excellent served before or after facials, massage, sauna, or foot soak.

🍋 Safety Note: Always use organic lemons to avoid pesticides on the peel.

This Ginger-Lemon Detox Water is a functional spa beverage with refreshing benefits for your body and mind.
