Restore your daily boost of hydration with this easy homemade detox water recipe. Infused with fresh sliced cucumbers and herbs, it feels refreshing and is perfect for maintaining water intake more thoughtfully throughout the day.
1 litre chilled water ½ cucumber, thinly sliced 1 lemon, thinly sliced 8–10 fresh mint leaves ½ teaspoon grated ginger (optional) Ice cubes, as needed
Thoroughly wash mint, cucumber, and lemon. Then slice the cucumber and lemon and lightly crush the mint leaves so that they release their natural aroma.
Fill a glass jar or bottle with drinking water and add the sliced cucumber, lemon slices, mint leaves and grated ginger.
Keep the jug or bottle in the refrigerator for at least one to two hours so that the ingredients naturally infuse the water with their flavours.
You can also add a few ice cubes and gently mix the infused water so that the flavours mix evenly.
Pour the prepared detox water into a glass whenever you feel thirsty and refill the jug one more time, then replace the ingredients to make a fresh batch the next day.
