Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold water (preferably ice-cold)
  • 3-4 cubes of ice
  • 1 slice of lemon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Fill a glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour in the cold water.
  • Add a lemon slice and apple cider vinegar, if using.
  • Stir it up quickly.
  • Drink it within 7 seconds for that chilly metabolism kick!

Notes

  • If lemon's too strong in the morning, skip it or try cucumber.
  • Sensitive teeth? Use a straw so the ice-cold water skips your front chompers.
  • Some folks add a pinch of baking soda—I don’t personally, but I know it’s a thing in some circles.
  • This is not a miracle weight loss trick. But if it gets you feeling better and moving more, that’s what matters.
  • Let me know if you try it—or if your Nonna would’ve rolled her eyes like mine did!
