Ingredients:
1 medium cucumber (peeled or unpeeled, your choice)
1 fresh lemon
2 cups of cold filtered water
A few mint leaves (optional for added freshness)
Ice cubes (optional)
Directions:
Wash and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. If your cucumber is organic, you can keep the peel on for added nutrients.
Cut the lemon into thin slices, removing seeds if desired.
In a large pitcher or jar, combine cucumber, lemon slices, and water.
Add a few mint leaves and ice cubes for extra chill and flavor.
Stir gently and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Pour into a glass, sip, and enjoy the cool, crisp taste!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Best served chilled — especially during hot weather or after workouts.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 24–48 hours for maximum freshness.
After 48 hours, the ingredients may start to break down and lose flavor.
If prepping for daily use, you can make a new batch each morning.
Variations:
Ginger Kick: Add 2–3 slices of fresh ginger root for anti-inflammatory benefits.
Citrus Burst: Mix in a few slices of orange or lime for a sweet, tangy twist.
Berry Refresh: Toss in a handful of blueberries or strawberries for added antioxidants.
Sparkling Version: Use sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy, spa-like drink.
