Stirring pink Himalayan salt into water to prepare the pink salt trick recipe

Notes

Optional ingredients: The lemon and honey improve the flavor but are not required.

A quarter teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt can add a significant amount of sodium. There is no reliable evidence that this drink causes weight loss. Anyone managing high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, or a sodium-restricted diet should consult a qualified healthcare professional before regularly drinking salted water.
