I swap out how I consume this lemon water recipe based on the situation rather than relying on cold vs/ hot lemon water each time. For example, drinking cold water has several benefits, including aiding digestion, can help the body burn extra calories, will keep up from overheating, and is excellent in warm weather. In comparison, warm water is more calming and perfect for cold/flu season as it can help relieve congestion, improve circulation, relieve stress, and is also beneficial for digestion.
