Variations
While many suggest making detox with soaked Lemon and ginger. I strongly feel lemon slices when soaked in water make the drink bitter and unpleasant. So this ginger lemonade is great to enjoy all benefits without tasting bad. To reduce calories use less honey and balance it with rock salt that also boasts the taste.
- Both black salt and toasted cumin mellow the spice of ginger and tartness of lemon. So all ingredients in this drink complement each other for great taste.
- In fact, you can cut water and add soda in ginger lemon drink to make a fizzy soft drink for guests which will help digestion after a formally heavy dinner.
