To help your body recover quickly, we present a recipe for a restorative drink that will quench your thirst, support your liver, and provide you with energy.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of coconut water — a natural source of electrolytes that helps replenish lost fluids.
- ½ lemon — for vitamin C and a mild detox effect.
- 1 teaspoon of honey — a natural source of glucose to maintain energy levels.
- 1 pinch of sea salt — to restore mineral balance.
- Ginger (1–2 cm root) — alleviates nausea and stimulates digestion.
- Mint (3–5 leaves) — refreshes and soothes the stomach.
- Water (optional) — to adjust the flavor concentration.
Preparation:
- In a small bowl or glass, squeeze the juice from half a lemon.
- Slice the ginger into thin pieces or grate it finely.
- In a blender, combine the coconut water, lemon juice, honey, salt, and ginger. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the drink through a sieve to remove ginger pieces (optional).
- Add the mint leaves and a bit of water if the flavor is too strong.
- Pour the drink into a glass and serve with ice cubes if you want to refresh yourself.
How it works:
- Coconut water quickly replenishes electrolyte levels lost after alcohol consumption.
- Lemon and honey help restore strength and support the immune system.
- Ginger and mint soothe the stomach, reduce inflammation, and stimulate metabolism.
- Sea salt restores the mineral balance necessary for the body's proper functioning.
Tips:
- If you don’t have coconut water, you can substitute it with mineral water high in magnesium and potassium.
- Drink the beverage slowly, in small sips, for better absorption.
- For added benefits, you can include a bit of turmeric or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
