The pink salt diet recipe, also known as the pink salt trick or sole water, is a simple drink meant to support hydration, digestion, and metabolism. Here is a common recipe for the pink salt diet drink:

Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt (fine-ground)
• 8 ounces (240 ml) warm filtered water (about 120°F / 49°C)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
• Optional: ½ teaspoon raw honey for sweetness
• Optional: A small pinch of cayenne pepper for a thermogenic kick

Instructions

1. Pour the warm filtered water into a heat-safe glass.
2. Sprinkle in the Himalayan pink salt and stir until it dissolves completely.
3. Mix in the fresh lemon juice. Add raw honey and cayenne pepper if desired, and whisk briskly.
4. Sip the drink slowly over 2–3 minutes.
5. Wait at least 15 minutes before consuming coffee or food to allow the drink to prime digestion.

Notes

• You can substitute lime juice for lemon for a variation.
• Adding ginger slices or raw apple cider vinegar is possible for additional health benefits.
• The warm water helps dissolve the salt and is gentler on the stomach.
• People with hypertension or kidney conditions should consult a healthcare professional before regularly consuming this drink.
