🛒 Ingredients:
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced (preferably organic)
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves, washed
- 2–3 cups filtered water
- Ice cubes (optional)
- ½ lemon, sliced (optional, adds brightness & vitamin C)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the cucumber and mint leaves thoroughly. Slice the cucumber thinly for faster infusion. If using lemon, slice it as well. - Combine in Pitcher
In a glass pitcher or large jar, add the cucumber slices, mint leaves, and lemon slices (if using). - Add Water
Pour in the filtered water and gently stir. Add ice cubes if you want it chilled immediately. - Infuse for Flavor
Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For stronger flavor, infuse for 2–4 hours or overnight. - Serve & Enjoy
Pour into glasses, optionally straining out the solids. Refill with water up to 2 more times using the same ingredients within 24 hours.
💡 Tips & Notes:
- Use Organic Ingredients: This minimizes exposure to pesticides, especially since the ingredients sit in water for hours.
- Crush Mint Leaves Gently: Lightly bruising the mint leaves before adding them to the water releases more of their natural oils.
- Lemon Boost: Optional lemon slices add vitamin C and a gentle liver-supportive boost.
- Hydration Routine: Drink throughout the day—especially first thing in the morning—to support daily detox and glowing skin.
