Stir lemon juice and a little honey into a cup of warm water. Use water that is comfortable to sip rather than boiling, and adjust the honey and lemon to taste.
It may temporarily soothe a sore throat: honey can coat and calm irritation, while warm water is comforting. It does not treat the cause of an infection, and honey must not be given to babies under one.
Warm Lemon Honey Water can be a pleasant way to drink fluids, and honey may soothe throat irritation. It is not a detox or a cure, and adding honey makes the drink a source of sugar.
No, Warm Lemon Honey Water does not directly cause weight loss. It may help if it replaces a higher-calorie drink, but honey still adds energy and the drink does not burn fat.
You can drink Warm Lemon Honey Water in the morning, but an empty stomach does not make it detoxify the body or burn fat. If lemon aggravates reflux or stomach discomfort, have it with food or skip it.
No, Warm Lemon Honey Water does not prevent or cure a cold. It can help you take in fluids, and honey may ease a cough or throat irritation, but it does not eliminate the virus.
Yes, honey can be stirred into hot water, but boiling water is unnecessary. Let the water cool until it is comfortable to sip, then add the honey and lemon for a more pleasant drink.
No, Warm Lemon Honey Water is not more hydrating than plain water. Both contribute fluid; plain water avoids added sugar, while a little honey may make the lemon drink more appealing.
Yes, you can drink Warm Lemon Honey Water before bed, and it contains no caffeine. The honey adds sugar, and drinking any fluid right before sleep may wake you to use the bathroom.
Children older than one can have Warm Lemon Honey Water in small amounts, but it is not needed for hydration. Never give honey to a child under one because of the risk of infant botulism.

Times are calculated with the MET equation for a 70 kg adult. Actual burn varies with your weight, age and pace.
Warm Lemon Honey Water is made by stirring lemon juice and a little honey into warm water. It is easy to prepare at home, with the honey softening the lemon’s sharp, citrusy taste. Served warm, it has a light sweet-and-sour flavour and a smooth, thin texture; stir well so the honey does not settle at the bottom.
People drink it at breakfast or as a simple warm beverage between meals, whether at home or elsewhere. It is mostly water, with a small amount of carbohydrate from the honey and lemon; the nutrition varies with how much of each you use. For a lighter cup, go easy on the honey and adjust the lemon to taste.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
