I am always searching to find great and healthy alternatives for the sugar laced soda and juices on the store shelves nowadays. Considering i live in Central Florida, where its hot damn near 11 months of the year, staying hydrated is an absolute must. I came across an amusing video about cucumbers and was inspired by it.
After seeing it I decided to try some cucumber water and it was awesome. I had never had it before or even thought of it none the less. It was quite a refreshing drink especially during the hot tempertures of the day. And i dont know if it me or just my imagination but it seemed to cool my body down inside (sometimes i swear im menopasal, no lie) 🙄
With all the benefits of cucumber I've learned about I definately was looking to reap the skin improvement benefits, and cucumber water did not disappoint.
Since trying cucumber water, I decided to make my own drink recipe, Cucumber Lemon Water. A variation from just cucumber with even more added benefits with the lemon.
Simple variation and even more refreshing and healthy! This is the recipe I used for my last batch i made.
2 Cucumbers
1-3 Juice from lemons or juice concentrate (to taste)
Lemon zest
Take your pitcher or jug (1 gal), add the cucumbers, lemons, and zest.
Add water to container and let sit overnight
You may add stevia for sweetness in individual serving although this can be enjoyed without.
If you looking for a refreshing drink idea with great healthy benefits, you should definitely give this Cucunber Lemon Water a try. I am sure you will love it.
Cheers, be blessed
Yaya
