Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Filtered Water
  • 1/4 cup Activated Charcoal Powder food-grade
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Agave Syrup natural sweetener
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice about 2-3 lemons
  • Ice Cubes
  • Lemon Slices for garnish

Equipment

  • Juicer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing Pitcher
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Glasses

Method
 

  1. Start by squeezing about half a cup of fresh lemon juice from 2-3 lemons.
  2. In your mixing pitcher, combine 2 cups of filtered water with 1/4 cup of activated charcoal powder. Whisk or stir vigorously to ensure the charcoal is evenly dispersed without clumps.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup to the charcoal water. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
  4. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir to combine everything thoroughly.
  5. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Black Magic Charcoal Lemonade over the ice. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice.

Notes

  • Use food-grade activated charcoal powder to ensure safety and best flavor.
  • Stir well before serving as charcoal powder tends to settle at the bottom.
  • Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir before serving again.
  • Swap honey with agave syrup for a vegan version.
  • Try substituting sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
