So here's what I do: sometime after waking but
before eating breakfast, I warm a pint of water (slightly warmer than
body temperature but not hot), juice half a lemon directly in the glass using a wooden citrus reamer, and top it off with a few sprinkles of non-irradiated cayenne pepper (since, again, the process of
irradiation reduces the nutritional profile and natural medicinal properties of herbs and spices, and we don't want that!).
