Lemon Cucumber Water is delicious, refreshing, loaded with health benefits, and so easy to make. You only need 1 cucumber, 2 lemons, and 5 minutes. It’s also great for weight loss and detox.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced (or regular cucumbers work too)
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 8 cups cold water (that’s about four glasses of water for two people)
- Optional: a handful of fresh herbs like mint leaves or basil for an extra bit of ooh la la
Instructions
Toss everything into a large pitcher, give it a stir, and chill. Let it infuse for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor, though overnight is a great way to take it up a notch.
Notes
- Let it chill for at least 30 minutes—overnight is even better for that spa-water flavor!
- Use a straw if you’re worried about lemon juice and your tooth enamel (ask me how I know).
- No English cucumbers? Regular ones work just fine—don’t overthink it.
- Add mint or basil if you’re feeling fancy…or just want to impress your guests.
- Keep it in the fridge and drink within 2 days—but honestly, it never lasts that long around here.
