Print Recipe

A simple and refreshing detox water infused with cucumber and mint that supports hydration and weight loss by reducing bloating and curbing cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced (English cucumber preferred)
  • 10–12 fresh mint leaves, gently bruised
  • 4 cups (1 quart / 950 ml) filtered water (still or sparkling)
  • Optional: 3-4 thin slices of lemon or lime
  • Optional: ice cubes for serving
  • Optional: a few slices of fresh ginger for added zing
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for extra detox effect
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt for electrolyte replenishment

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice 1 medium cucumber into 1/8-inch (3 mm) rounds.
  2. Rinse 10-12 fresh mint leaves and gently bruise them with a wooden spoon or muddler to release essential oils.
  3. Add the sliced cucumber and bruised mint leaves to a 1-quart (950 ml) glass pitcher.
  4. Pour in 4 cups (950 ml) of filtered water, still or sparkling as preferred.
  5. Add optional citrus slices (lemon or lime) if using.
  6. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix ingredients.
  7. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, ideally overnight, to infuse flavors.
  8. Before serving, stir gently, add ice cubes if desired, and pour into glasses. Garnish with a mint sprig or cucumber slice if desired.

Notes

Use fresh, firm cucumbers and fresh mint leaves for best flavor. Do not over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness. Infuse overnight for a stronger flavor. Store in the fridge up to 48 hours; after that, cucumber may soften and mint may turn bitter. For longer storage, strain solids and add fresh water. Serve cold or over ice. Optional variations include adding fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar, or substituting mint with basil or rosemary.
