  • When selecting lemons, roll them firmly on the counter before cutting to release more juice. Room temperature lemons yield significantly more juice than cold ones straight from the refrigerator.
  • For maximum benefits, consume this tea first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This timing allows your body to absorb the beneficial compounds most efficiently and sets a healthy tone for the day ahead.
