Magic of Coffee and Lemon Juice

This isn’t a recipe per se, but rather a remedy. However, since there’s no better place to put it, it’ll be listed under recipes. I experienced a series of severe migraine episodes. Neither naproxen (500 mg) nor ibuprofen (400 mg) provided much relief. Each morning, for about three days, I woke up with a strong headache that lingered throughout the day, fluctuating in intensity from mild to unbearable. That was until my wife prepared what we now call the magic combo.

Ingredients

• 1 measure of coffee beans
• ½ litre of water
• Juice of ½ a lemon

Steps

1. Grind the coffee beans to a medium grind.
2. Boil the water in an electric kettle.
3. Place the coffee grounds in a French press and pour in the hot water until the press is half full.
4. Squeeze the lemon and transfer the juice into a small glass.

Serving

Once brewed, serve the strong coffee as usual, accompanied by the lemon juice. Drink the coffee, alternating sips with the lemon juice. This magical combo cured my headache almost instantly. As the evening unfolded, my headache faded away completely, like a thick black smoke clearing away. There’s nothing quite like the relief of being headache-free.

Honey, thanks a million. ❤️
