Why This Bedtime Ritual Works
- Supports Digestion: Fresh lemon juice and ginger stimulate digestive enzymes, helping your body process dinner more efficiently while you sleep.
- Beats Nighttime Bloat: Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps calm the digestive tract and reduce water retention.

Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz) Warm Water (0 Points)
- 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice (0 Points)
- 1/2 tsp Freshly Grated Ginger or ground ginger (0 Points)
- 1 tbsp Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (Optional, 0 Points)
- Zero-Calorie Sweetener (Stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol to taste – 0 Points)
- Optional Garnish: Fresh lemon slices or a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra metabolic kick (0 Points)
Instructions
- Heat the Water: Bring 1 cup of water to a simmer. You want it warm and soothing, but not boiling hot, to preserve the nutrients in the lemon juice.
- Combine Ingredients: In your favorite mug, combine the fresh lemon juice, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour & Steep: Pour the warm water over the mixture and let it steep for 2 minutes to allow the ginger to infuse.
- Sweeten & Serve: Stir in your choice of zero-calorie sweetener to balance the tartness. Strain out the ginger bits if you prefer a smooth tea, or leave them in for extra flavor. Sip slowly 30 minutes before bed.
