Lemon Elixir
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole lemon, including peel (Make sure to scrub it clean.)
2 tablespoons high-quality olive oil
2 tablespoons honey (Raw is great. Since this recipe doesn’t involve heat, the good stuff is preserved!)
1 small knob of ginger (about an inch, peeled)
3 cups of water
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend on high until completely incorporated. It should have a slushie consistency and a pale yellow color.
2. Strain contents into a jar using a fine mesh sieve to separate the thicker pulp. You can save the pulp for a baking project later or discard.
3. Drink a cup or so of the strained liquid, and reserve the rest in the fridge for another time! #whenlifegivesyoulemons #makejuice #groceryessentials #organic #shots #ELIXIR #cleanse #lemon8wellness #drinkme #digestivehealth

I add an oregano oil gel cap too and don't strain it but freeze into ice cubes and use daily.
