Cucumber and Mint Wellness Water

Prep time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1-2

1 large Cucumber: Sliced into thin rounds. Cucumbers are highly hydrating and contain antioxidants.
1 medium Lemon: Sliced into rounds. Lemons are a great source of Vitamin C.
1 small piece of Fresh Ginger (1 inch): Peeled and thinly sliced. Ginger is often used to soothe the digestive system.
5-10 Fresh Mint Leaves: Slightly bruised to release their natural oils.
4 cups Filtered Water: The base for your infusion.
Ice cubes: For serving.

Wash the cucumber, lemon, and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water.
Slice the cucumber and lemon into thin, even rounds.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin coins to maximize the surface area for infusion.

In a large glass pitcher or individual jars, add the cucumber slices, lemon slices, and ginger.
Take the fresh mint leaves and gently press or “clap” them between your hands before adding them to the container; this helps release the aromatic oils.

Pour the 4 cups of filtered water over the ingredients.
Stir gently with a long spoon to combine.
For the best flavor, place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it steep for at least 1 to 2 hours. For a more intense flavor, you can let it infuse overnight.

Fill a glass with ice cubes.
Pour the chilled water over the ice, ensuring a few slices of cucumber and lemon make it into the glass for a beautiful presentation.
Enjoy this refreshing drink throughout the day to stay hydrated.

Refill as You Go: You can refill the pitcher with water 2–3 times using the same ingredients before the flavor begins to fade.
Freshness: For the best taste and nutrient profile, prepare a fresh batch every 24 hours.
