Lemons are full of Vitamin C, which helps to keep your immune system strong and help you recover from colds and flus faster!

How To Make Your Own Lemon Water:
- Fill a large mug with warm (but not boiling) water. If you choose to boil the water, set it aside for 2-5 minutes to allow it to cool slightly.
- Add the juice of ½ a lemon and stir to combine. Avoid using bottled lemon juice as this often contains preservatives.
- Add some fresh lemon slices for extra lemon flavour.
- Sip slowly and enjoy!
