2-Minute Morning Drink: Lemon-Mint Water – LIFE Journal article cover

2-minute recipe

You need: 1 glass (250 ml) of drinking water, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 3–4 mint leaves (optional).

Wash the mint, add it to the water with the lemon juice, and stir. Your drink is ready! Skip sugar and honey.

How it helps with weight loss

Replacing a sugary drink with this low-calorie option can help reduce your calorie intake. It does not burn fat on its own. Enjoy it alongside balanced meals and regular activityβ€”not instead of breakfast.

Who can have it

Most healthy adults who tolerate lemon and mint can enjoy this drink.

Who should avoid it

Avoid any ingredient you are allergic to. If lemon or mint gives you acidity or heartburn, choose plain water instead. You do not need lemon water to lose weight.
