The best morning drink you can have is some kind of lemon mix. Lemon water itself is good all day but we took it a step further to help digestion, fight weight issues and get natural vitamin C right in the morning.
Keep in mind that My Trucker is away for 5 days a week so I have to prepare everything efficiently.
I buy a bag of lemons and after juicing them I freeze it in an ice cube tray.
I buy real ginger and after grating it I freeze it in an ice cube tray.
I buy fresh mint that will last a couple of weeks.
We always have cayenne pepper we can use because of its properties to help metabolism.
I mix 1 ice cube of ginger,
2 ice cubes per 2 cups of water,
a few mint leaves per bottle and a shake of cayenne pepper before I bottle it.
You might have guessed that I prepare the drink for 5 days he is away so 500 ml (2 cups) per day gives 2.5 Liters or 10 cups of water with 1 cube of ginger, 10 cubes of lemon, a few leaves of mint and a shake of cayenne pepper. After mixing it well, I fill his water bottles. I don't actually keep the mint leaves in so I prepare it the night before to let it sit.
You might have noticed there is no sweetener in it. That's why he calls it his Vodka.
