My hubby and I , have been lately taking honey with lemon.
He does it in the morning when he wakes up. He would drink a glassful of bit warm water, then take in one tablespoon of honey with drops of one squeezed lemon.
While for me, I would put 3 tablespoons of honey with lemon, and add water and drink it. It’s so delicious.
The honey with lemon, I premixed it in a big bottle.
I put in half of the bottle of my honey, then the pure lemon juice of about 20 lemon or kalamansi in Tagalog, then mix them and taste if it is a bit sour and sweet. I put the bottle with the mixture in the fridge.
For my husband, it helps him lose weight, and his tummy is now a bit smaller.
For me, I like it taken at night because it makes me sleepy after an hour or more . So, I get more or less enough number of hours of sleep. And I sleep well.
Well, there are a lot of health benefits of taking honey every day.
Hubby and I are happy we discovered this healthy habit of ours, every day.

Let me suggest this for a healthier consumption of honey. Take a table spoon of honey before drinking water as soon as you wake up. Don't swallow it. Let it stay in your tongue and allow the honey to slowly drip down your throat. It was suggested to me by a friend healer who said that it's the best way to use honey to detox our body. Not only that, it relieves the sinus too, cures asthma, and kills the bacteria that could cause cold.

@SIMPLYD Room temperature water is better than warm water in the morning.

Welcome.
Here, a bottle ( a medium size) of honey costs 150 to 170 pesos or US$3.40.
Indeed, some of those honey in supermarkets are adulterated indeed.
Here we buy it from local vendors who gets them from those who cultures honey from bees.

Our daughters in NZ sent us a few bottles of honey, lemon & ginger which I drink at the onset of cough or colds which easily vanish after a day or two of drinking the mixture with water. I put in 2 or 3 spoonfuls of the honey, lemon & ginger in a glass of cold water. Sometimes I just drink it even without the signs of cough or colds as refreshment.

I have it in hot milk just before going to bed. Honey and lemon combination does help one lose weight

@allknowing Oh, I see. 
So you take snacks in the evening instead. What kind of snacks? Sorry, I am just curious if you don't get hungry by that.

Yes, there are fake ones. There are ways of knowing if the honey is fake.
If you put the bottle of honey in the ref and it solidifies, that is fake.
We also try its being genuine by dropping a drop on a glass of water then when it goes down solid or not scattered, that is genuine.

@SIMPLYD for me, i would like the apple cider vinegar to be mixed with cucumber. the sourness of the vinegar will make my eyes close and my lips smirk.

I have been doing it for some time now having honey and lemon juice on a spoon in the morning and then there are times at night that I drink warm water with honey in it. Someone here mentioned lemonade and honey and tried that . She uses it for sleep. For me I am not sure it works.

There are sellers who get it from Sorsogon or from those who cultures honey. It is 170 pesos - 200 per bottle of gin.
We test if its genuine by dropoping some honey in a cup. If it doesn't spread but drops solidly, it is pure.
Besides, it is so effective to me and hubby.

It's good when couples reinforce the healthy habits of each other. My husband's new health habits revolve around the use of herbs and spices. He is particular pleased with the health benefits of turmeric. I'm just happy I like the taste so I don't mind using it in our recipes. He even puts it in his tea. I have not gone that far yet. But I'm OK with cooking with this spice. I love it in rice and soups.
Turmeric is an old Indian spice with a powerful medicinal compound called Curcumin. Here are the top 10 health benefits of turmeric/curcumin.

Oh that sounds so delicious.
I am trying to give up any kind of sugar even honey.
But I do love the taste of honey.
When I am sick that is what I have is hot tea with honey, lemon and a clove of garlic I chop it and swallow it like pills and it makes me better faster.
Thank you for sharing your new recipe with us.
I hope it continues to be healthy for you both Rebel.
