Warm cumin and lemon water in the afternoon
Roasted cumin and a squeeze of lemon go into a cup of warm water in the afternoon. You drink it when you are thirsty. It is not a detox and it does not promise kilos lost.
About cumin lemon water
Roast the cumin until it smells nutty, then crush it and stir it into warm water. Lemon is a small squeeze, not the juice of several fruit. The cup should taste mild.
Drink it in the afternoon, then rinse your mouth with plain water so lemon does not linger on the teeth. This cup does not promise kilos lost and it does not replace lunch.
