- 1 whole lemon
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons local honey, or your preferred sweetener

Instructions:
- Prepare the lemon. Wash the lemon well, cut it into quarters, and remove any seeds. Leave the peel on for extra lemon flavor.
- Blend. Add the lemon, cold water, honey, sea salt, and My Greek Orchard extra virgin olive oil to a blender. Blend until the lemon is fully broken down and the mixture is smooth.
