  2. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
  3. Squeeze in the juice from half a lemon (or a little more if you're feeling tangy).
  4. Sprinkle in just a pinch of real salt (something fancy or pink if you have it, for minerals).
  5. Sweeten it up with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, if you want it.
  6. Stir it up. Taste it. Adjust lemon or honey as you wish. That’s it. Pop in the fridge or sip it right away.

You can even mix it with homemade jam for a wild, tangy twist. This drink is flexible; don’t worry about exact measures.
