A simple detox-style drink that keeps you cool, hydrated, and refreshed all day — perfect for warm weather. ☀️
📝 Ingredients
- 8 cups cold water (filtered if possible)
- ½ large cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
- ½ large lemon, thinly sliced (seeds removed)
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients
Wash the cucumber, lemon, and mint thoroughly.
Thinly slice the cucumber and lemon so they release more flavor.
2. Lightly crush the mint
Gently press the mint leaves between your fingers or with the back of a spoon to release their natural oils. Do not tear them too much.
3. Combine everything
Add the cucumber slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves into a large glass pitcher.
4. Add water
Pour 8 cups of cold water over the ingredients.
5. Chill and infuse
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours.
For a stronger flavor, let it infuse overnight.
6. Serve
Pour over ice and enjoy!
You can refill the pitcher once or twice before replacing the ingredients.
- 💡 Tip: For extra flavor, you can also add a few slices of ginger.
