First, how to make this mixture

The natural sugars in honey helps cleanse the liver, flushing toxins and fat from the body. Adding lemon to your honey water boosts its detoxifying properties. The citric acid in lemon stimulates the liver and lemon water increases urination, aiding you in flushing out toxins.
