Let’s dive into this revitalizing drink and discover how easy it is to prepare!
Ingredients:
1 small cucumber (sliced)
1 lemon (juiced)
1-inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
2 cups of water
A few fresh mint leaves (optional)
Honey or stevia (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the cucumber, lemon, and ginger thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, juice the lemon, and peel the ginger before slicing it into small pieces.
Combine the Ingredients: In a pitcher or jug, add the sliced cucumber, lemon juice, and ginger pieces. If you're using mint leaves, add them to the mix for an added flavor twist.
Add Water: Pour in 2 cups of cool, filtered water and stir the ingredients gently. This allows the flavors to begin infusing into the water.
Infuse the Drink: Let the drink sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For a stronger taste, you can leave it overnight.
Serve: Pour the infused drink into a glass and enjoy! If desired, add a little honey or stevia for a touch of sweetness.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: Serve this drink cold, especially during warm evenings, for a refreshing way to wind down. Garnish with a slice of cucumber or a sprig of mint for an extra burst of freshness.
Storing: Keep any leftover drink in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. The cucumber, lemon, and ginger flavors will continue to infuse, making it even more flavorful over time.
Boost Flavor: If you prefer a stronger kick, feel free to add extra ginger or lemon to the drink. The more it infuses, the more robust the flavors will become.
