✅ Step 1: Wash all your ingredients thoroughly
Use clean, cold water to rinse the cucumber, lemon, ginger root, and mint leaves to remove any pesticides or dirt.
✅ Step 2: Slice the cucumber and lemon
Cut the cucumber and lemon into thin slices. Do not peel them; much of their nutrients are in the skin.
✅ Step 3: Grate the ginger
Peel a small knob of fresh ginger and grate about 1 tablespoon. If you prefer a milder taste, slice it instead.
✅ Step 4: Combine all ingredients
In a large glass pitcher or jar, add the cucumber and lemon slices, grated ginger, and a handful of mint leaves.
✅ Step 5: Add water
Pour 6–8 cups (1.5–2 liters) of fresh cold water over the ingredients.
✅ Step 6 (Optional): Add apple cider vinegar
Add 1 tablespoon of raw, unfiltered ACV if you like its tangy flavor and additional benefits.
✅ Step 7: Let it infuse overnight
Place the drink in the fridge and let it infuse for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the ingredients to release their active compounds into the water.
