Hello my lovely, healthy friends! Do you have a special morning routine?  Something you do right after you wake up, even before yummy breakfast? Kak Mawar likes to start the day with a special sunny drink! Guess what it is? It is warm water mixed with... LEMON juice! Squeeze! Splash! Some people say drinking this warm lemon water when your tummy is still empty is like giving your insides a gentle morning shower! A little "washy-washy" to start the day fresh!  But wait! If your tummy sometimes feels a bit grumpy or ouchy, like with gastric, maybe it is better to drink it after you eat, okay? Listen to your own tummy, it knows best! What's So Special About Lemons Anyway? Lemons are amazing! They are like little balls of sunshine you can hold in your hand! They belong to the citrus fruit family, like oranges and limes. They have bright yellow skin, a super fresh smell that makes you go "Ahhh!" , and a taste that is sour but also super refreshing! Pucker up! Hehe...
