Sole Water

Sole Water

Ingredients:

Wide mouth quart (32oz) glass jar with lid

Roughly 1 cup Redmond Real Salt or Celtic Sea Salt

Filtered water

Directions:

Fill the glass jar about ¼ full with the salt

Add filtered water to the jar, leaving about an inch at the top

Put on the lid and shake the jar gently

Leave on the counter overnight to let the salt dissolve

The next day, if there is still some salt on the bottom of the jar, the water has absorbed its maximum amount of salt and the sole is ready to use. If all of the salt is absorbed, add more salt and continue doing so each day until some remains on the bottom. This means that the water is fully saturated with salt

Store the jar in a cool, dry place. It will last indefinitely as salt is naturally anti-microbial

To use, mix 1 teaspoon (not any more) of the sole into a glass of water and consume first thing in the morning on an empty stomach
