Water…it does the body good!
Are you a fan of drinking water? Do you struggle to drink enough daily? An average person should drink half of body weight in ounces everyday. Eek…I try very hard but sometimes I fall short. How are you doing with your water intake? This is the most refreshing water I have ever tried and it definitely helps me reach my daily water intake goal!
I’m excited to share this recipe with all of you!! I absolutely LOVE cucumber lemon water. Have you tried it? If you haven’t, you should! It is so refreshing. And lemon has great benefits for digestion and your skin. So, why not?
Here is what you will need:
- Water (of course!) 🙂
- Lemon
- Cucumber
- Fresh Mint Leaves
- Pitcher/Infuser Bottle
Now, let’s make the best water ever (imo)!
Cut your lemon and cucumber into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Next, you are going to combine these awesome ingredients to make a delicious refreshing water! The amount you need will depend on whether you are filling an Infuser Bottle or a Pitcher. In my Infuser Bottle I usually drop in 2 cucumber slices, a lemon slice, and a mint leaf. Then I repeat until the infuser basket is full! For a pitcher, I throw in four lemon slices, 6-8 cucumber slices (depending on size) and 4-6 mint leaves. Fill with filtered water and enjoy!
I always dump the lemon, cucumber, and mint in my Infuser bottle at least once every 24 hours. Replace with fresh lemon, cucumber, and mint. And I try to drink the water in my pitcher within 3 days. The longer it sits the more potent in taste it becomes. After three days it is very tart…too tart for me. Also, you can use the water in your pitcher to fill your infuser bottle to get a stronger lemon taste!
That’s it! Store extra lemon and cucumbers separately in glass containers in the fridge. This is absolutely my favorite flavored water recipe. Try it and let me know what you think!
