Detox water is a brilliant way to make reaching your daily hydration goals effortless during the scorching May heat. By infusing water with alkalizing lemon and cooling cucumber, you create a beverage that encourages consistent sipping while providing a subtle dose of antioxidants. It’s a simple, effective ritual to keep your energy levels stable and your skin looking luminous from the inside out.
1 liter filtered water 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced 1 lemon, thinly sliced (seeds removed) A handful of fresh mint leaves 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced (optional for digestion)
Place the cucumber, lemon, and ginger in a large glass pitcher.
Gently slap the mint leaves between your palms to release the essential oils, then add them to the pitcher.
Fill with water and stir gently.
Let the water steep in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Drink throughout the day for a steady hydration boost.
