I have one cup a day. I like coffee, but I never get a chance to finish one during the day. What I do have first thing in the morning is a hot water with lemon and honey. If it cools off it still tastes good. Later in the morning while the kids have snack I have a lemon, honey and 1/2 tsp turmeric. Turmeric cuts inflammation in the body and I have noticed my feet can be inflamed due to mortons syndrome are amazingly better.
