Yesterday we brought the spa home by giving ourselves a French Pedicure. Today let’s add to that experience with some delicious cucumber water! Everytime I go to the spa I love the water they have in the relaxation rooms. Usually there is a citrus and a cucumber water. One day it hit me that there’s no reason I can’t have this at home. Now it’s my favorite way to enjoy water in the summer. If you don’t like cucumbers you could do the same thing with oranges, lemons and limes or any combination of them. Strawberries would be good too.
This is a really great way to get your daily intake of water if you don’t normally like to drink it.
Step 1: Slice a cucumber, you’ll want about 5-7 slices for every liter of water
Slice the cucumber
Step 2: Add cucumber and filtered water to a pitcher
I like the ease of a Brita Filter System
Step 3: Refigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24. The longer you leave the cucumbers the stronger the water will be. You want to remove them after 24 hours because they will start to desinigrate.
Tasty!
Step 4: Sit back, relax and pretend you are at the spa while you enjoy a glass of delicious cucumber water!
