Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons activated charcoal powder
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the activated charcoal powder with about 1/4 cup of water until completely smooth. This prevents clumps.

- Stir in the maple syrup or honey and the pinch of salt.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Chill the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve over ice. You may need to stir before each pour as the charcoal may settle.
Notes
- Activated charcoal can absorb medications; drink this lemonade at least two hours before or after taking any prescribed drugs.
- Use food-grade activated charcoal only.
- This recipe balances deep roots (charcoal) with fresh flavor (lemon).
