Ingredients
- 16 oz Filtered Water
- 1/4 teaspoon Magnesium Glycinate Powder
- 100 mg L-Theanine Powder
- 1/2 lemon (or 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed) Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Raw Honey
- 1/4 teaspoon Adaptogenic Herbs (dried blend)
- 1 tiny pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Pour sixteen ounces of filtered water into a glass or stainless steel container, ensuring you use high-quality water free from tap impurities.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly from half a lemon into your cortisol water recipe, or measure one tablespoon of freshly squeezed juice for consistent results.
- Add one-half teaspoon of raw honey to your cortisol water recipe, using a measuring spoon or kitchen scale for accuracy.
- Measure precisely one-quarter teaspoon of magnesium glycinate powder, approximately 100 milligrams of L-theanine powder, one-quarter teaspoon of your adaptogenic herb blend, and a tiny pinch of sea salt, then add them to your cortisol water recipe base.
- Stir your cortisol water recipe vigorously for two minutes using a spoon or small wire whisk to fully dissolve all powders.
- Taste your cortisol water recipe and adjust sweetness or lemon intensity to your preference by adding small amounts of honey or lemon juice.
- Add ice cubes to your cortisol water recipe if you prefer a cold beverage, or drink at room temperature for maximum absorption.
- Drink your complete cortisol water recipe within fifteen minutes of preparation to maximize the potency of the L-theanine component.
Notes
Use magnesium glycinate specifically rather than other forms to avoid digestive upset. Drink your cortisol water recipe immediately after mixing because L-theanine begins to oxidize when exposed to air, reducing effectiveness within thirty minutes. Prepare this cortisol water recipe with water between sixty and seventy degrees Fahrenheit, as extremely hot water damages the amino acids and cold water slows powder dissolution.
