Ingredients
  

1 medium cucumber

1 lemon

10 fresh mint leaves

1 liter of filtered water

Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Cucumber: Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly under cool running water. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds. Keep the skin on for added nutrients and an appealing visual contrast.

    Slice the Lemon: Take the lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from one half directly into your pitcher for a zesty kick. For the other half, slice it into thin wedges, ensuring that the zest remains intact to release essential oils.

      Combine Ingredients: In a spacious pitcher, combine the cucumber slices, lemon wedges, and fresh mint leaves. The aromatic mint will infuse the water with a crisp, refreshing flavor.

        Add Water: Gently pour the filtered water over the cucumber, lemon, and mint mixture. Stir the concoction softly to blend all the ingredients without bruising the delicate mint leaves too much.

          Infuse: Cover the pitcher and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, though overnight infusion is recommended for a more robust flavor. The longer it steeps, the more vibrant and refreshing your drink will be.

            Serve: When you're ready to enjoy, take a glass and fill it with ice cubes if desired. Pour in the detox cucumber water, ensuring it’s well mixed. For an extra touch, garnish with additional cucumber slices and a sprig of mint.

              Enjoy: Sip on this invigorating drink throughout the day to stay hydrated and rejuvenated! Its refreshing flavor is perfect for warm days or any time you need a revitalizing boost.
