🥒 Lemon Cucumber Mint Detox Drink

A refreshing homemade infused drink made with cucumber, fresh lemon, and mint. It’s crisp, light, and perfect served chilled over ice.

Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1½ liters cold water
  • 1–2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, optional
  • Ice, for serving
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey or another sweetener, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Wash the cucumber, lemon, and mint thoroughly. Slice the cucumber and lemon into thin rounds.
  2. Combine: Add the cucumber slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves to a large glass jar or pitcher.
  3. Add water: Pour in the cold water and gently stir.
  4. Infuse: Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. For a stronger flavor, let it infuse overnight.
  5. Serve: Stir gently, then pour over ice. Add a few fresh cucumber slices, lemon wedges, and mint leaves for garnish.
  6. Refresh: Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 24 hours for the best fresh flavor.

💡 Tip

For a stronger cucumber-mint flavor, lightly crush a few mint leaves and cucumber slices before adding the water. Avoid boiling the mixture, as fresh cucumber and mint are best used as a cold infusion.
