Lemon Cucumber Detox Water

Ingredients:

• 1 cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 1 lemon (thinly sliced)
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves (optional)
• 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 4-5 cups of water
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Slice the cucumber and lemon into thin rounds. You can leave the skin on both, as they contain extra nutrients, but make sure to wash them thoroughly.
2. Assemble the drink: In a large pitcher, combine the sliced cucumber, lemon, and fresh mint leaves (if using). Add the honey or agave syrup if you prefer a slightly sweet taste.
3. Add water: Pour the water into the pitcher and stir everything together.
4. Chill: Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse into the water.
5. Serve: Add ice cubes to the glasses, pour the infused water, and enjoy this refreshing, hydrating drink!
