Place all the ingredients in a convenient thermos, add lemon juice and fill with water, the temperature of which should be 90-95 degrees. Leave for 20-30 minutes to infuse, then put honey and stir several times with rhythmic movements.
Ginger & Garlic Drink
Pour 1.5 liters of water into a clean saucepan and place on a preheated burner. After 7 minutes add 2.5 tbsp. chopped ginger root. If there is no fresh root in local stores, use 1.5 tbsp. dry ginger powder. Let the water boil and cook for no more than 20 minutes.

At the end of cooking, add 3-5 slices of finely chopped garlic, the amount of which can be adjusted according to individual taste preferences. This drink significantly speeds up metabolism and has cleansing properties.

It is enough to add additional components in the form of 5-7 leaves of fresh lemon balm, previously chopped to a mushy state, as well as 40 g of mashed lingonberries. Pour boiling water over and leave at room temperature for 2-3, 5 hours.
