Prepare the Ingredients
Start by thoroughly washing the cucumber and lemon. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half of the lemon into a jug. Then slice the other half into thin wedges.
Assemble the Detox Water
Add the cucumber slices and lemon wedges into the jug with lemon juice. If you like, you can also add a handful of fresh mint leaves for added flavor and extra detoxifying benefits.
Add Water
Pour in about 8-10 cups of cold water, depending on how diluted you want your drink. Stir everything together, ensuring the cucumber and lemon infuse the water.
Chill and Serve
For a refreshing touch, you can add ice cubes. Let the water sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour, but ideally, allow it to infuse overnight for the best flavor.

Once ready, pour the cucumber lemon water into glasses and enjoy your hydrating, detoxifying beverage. Drink it throughout the day to stay refreshed and revitalized!
Tips for Serving and Storing
Serving Tip: Garnish with extra mint leaves or even a thin cucumber slice on the rim of your glass for a sophisticated touch.
Storing Tip: Store the cucumber lemon water in an airtight container or jug in the fridge. For best results, consume it within 2-3 days to maintain the freshness and benefits.
Pro Tip: If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup. However, it's best to keep it natural to fully enjoy the detox benefits.
