Lemon, the ultimate detoxifier, vitamin C booster and antibacterial hero is one of my favourite citrus fruits. While you wont see me chomping into this particular sour gem, you will see me add it to my daily routine, multiple times over. Besides adding lemon to my water upon rising, I like to make this simple lemonade to drink throughout the day.

It’s fresh, delicious and thirst quenching. If you’re looking to spruce up your Christmas festivities with a delicious and nutritious beverage, then follow this recipe and reap the benefits of the glorious lemon.
