🥒🍋🌿 Cucumber Lemon Mint Infused Water Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 medium cucumber (washed and thinly sliced)
- 1 lemon (washed and thinly sliced, seeds removed)
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves (lightly crushed for more flavor)
- 6–7 cups cold filtered water (about 1.5 liters)
- Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Wash cucumber, lemon, and mint thoroughly.
- Slice cucumber and lemon into thin rounds.
- Gently crush mint leaves with your hands or a spoon to release natural oils (this enhances flavor).
2. Assemble the Infused Water
- In a large pitcher or glass jar, add:
- cucumber slices
- lemon slices
- mint leaves
- Pour cold filtered water over them.
3. Infusion Time
- Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2–4 hours for light flavor.
- For stronger infusion, leave it overnight (8–12 hours).
4. Serve
- Stir gently before serving.
- Pour into glasses filled with ice cubes.
- Garnish with an extra slice of cucumber, lemon wedge, or mint sprig for presentation.
Tips & Variations:
✅ For a sweeter touch, add 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional).
✅ Add ginger slices for a spicy kick.
✅ Use sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy version.
✅ Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24–36 hours (discard lemon/cucumber after that to avoid bitterness).
✨ Result: A crisp, cooling, and refreshing detox water that helps with hydration, digestion, and detoxification while tasting delicious.
