Wake Me up Before You Go Go

Everyone knows that hot water and a piece of lemon is good for you. This drink started out because I not only needed a hot drink in the morning, I needed a hot drink that would wake me up. For me, this drink packs more of a punch than any cup of coffee, and it's caffeine-free!

Ingredients

• 1  slice lemon (wash the lemon before you cut it up)
