The pink salt trick recipe is a simple morning drink designed to support hydration, digestion, and metabolism, often used as a wellness ritual. Here is a common and effective version of the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8–12 oz) warm filtered water (not hot, just cozy warm)
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground Himalayan pink salt (food-grade)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/4 of a lemon)
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional, for sweetness and antioxidants)
Instructions
- Pour the warm filtered water into a glass.
- Add the pink salt and stir until it is fully dissolved.
- Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and stir.
- Add raw honey if desired and stir again.
- Sip slowly on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning.
Notes and Variations
- You can add a pinch of grated ginger for extra digestive benefits.
- Skip the honey for a low-sugar version.
- Use cold water instead of warm for a refreshing summer drink.
- Add fresh mint leaves for a cooling effect.
- For extra hydration, add a splash of coconut water.
This drink is sometimes called "sole water" when made by saturating water with pink salt over 12–24 hours and then diluting a teaspoon of that concentrate in water before drinking. However, dissolving the salt directly in water is a quicker alternative. The pink salt provides minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which help with energy, hydration, muscle function, and hormone support. The lemon adds vitamin C and flavor, and honey adds antioxidants and sweetness if used. This simple tonic helps kickstart digestion and hydration without caffeine or sugar spikes
