If you’ve ever been to a spa, you know there’s just something about the water there. What’s their secret? I always wondered, until I was let in on the secret: the lowly cucumber!
And, since it’s no longer ‘cool’ to serve bottled water, you trendy VinBar fans need to fancy up the tap water. Enter the cucumber!
As you know now from your trips to the spa, cucumber improves the taste of tap water. Not only that, but it really improves the look of your skin. By the way, take a look at my Salad Cucumber á La VinBar for more cucumber benefits and another delicious, healthy recipe. On top of all this, cucumber water is simple to make at home.
Cucumber Water Recipe
In order for the cucumber to fully release its juice, you need to prepare it the day before your event.
Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber, sliced and unpeeled + 6-7 cucumber slices for decoration
- 1 1/2 to 2 liters of water
- 3 mint sprigs + 2 mint sprigs for decoration
- Half a lemon, sliced and unpeeled
- Ice cubes
In a pitcher, mix the water, cucumber, 3 mint sprigs and lemon. Let it rest on the fridge for 24 hours. If you prepare the water at the last minute, cut the first cucumber in three or four pieces. Then, squeeze the cucumber pieces to release all the juice.
Before serving remove the cucumber slices used to flavor the water. Then stir with a wooden spoon, add some ice cubes, 6 or 7 fresh cucumber slices and the remaining 2 mint sprigs. Enjoy this refreshing drink.
Bon appetit!
