Print Recipe

A refreshing and easy-to-make detox water featuring pink lemons and cucumber that turns plain water into a flavorful hydration treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium pink lemons, thinly sliced
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 8–10 fresh mint leaves, gently bruised (optional)
  • 1 quart (4 cups) filtered water
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the pink lemons and cucumber under cold water. Thinly slice the lemons and cucumber into rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
  2. Gently bruise the mint leaves by pressing them lightly between your palms or with the back of a wooden spoon.
  3. In a large glass pitcher, add the lemon slices, cucumber slices, and bruised mint leaves. Pour in the filtered water (1 quart / 4 cups). If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup until dissolved.
  4. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. For stronger flavor, infuse up to 4 hours but no longer than 8 hours to avoid bitterness.
  5. When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the infused water over them. Garnish with a fresh lemon or cucumber slice if desired.
  6. Store leftover detox water refrigerated and consume within 24 hours for best flavor and freshness.

Notes

Slice lemons and cucumber thinly for better infusion but avoid tearing the fruit. Do not over-muddle mint to prevent bitterness. Infuse for at least 2 hours but no longer than 8 hours. Keep chilled and consume within 24 hours. Optional sweetener can be omitted for a low-carb version.
