Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut water (unsweetened)
- 1 medium Orange (freshly juiced)
- 0.5 medium Lemon (freshly juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for taste)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water (filtered)
Instructions
Gather all ingredients to ensure everything is prepared and ready to use.
Juice the orange and half of the lemon using a hand juicer or citrus press. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp, if desired.
In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the coconut water, freshly squeezed orange juice, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Add the honey (if using) and salt into the liquid mixture. Stir well until the salt and honey dissolve completely.
Pour in the filtered water and mix everything together to create a well-balanced juice.
Taste the juice and adjust sweetness with a little more honey if needed, or balance the tartness with a tiny extra pinch of salt.
Pour the juice into cups or bottles and serve immediately. Alternatively, chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.
