Here’s how to make it 👇
💧 Cucumber, Lemon, and Cinnamon Water
Makes: 1 large pitcher (about 6–8 cups)
Prep Time: 5 min | Infuse Time: 2–4 hours (best overnight)
🥒 Ingredients
-
1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
-
1 lemon, thinly sliced (remove seeds)
-
1 cinnamon stick (or ½ tsp ground cinnamon — optional, but stick gives better clarity)
-
6–8 cups cold water
-
Optional: a few fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of honey for natural sweetness
🪄 Instructions
-
Assemble:
Add sliced cucumber, lemon, and the cinnamon stick to a large pitcher or jar. -
Add water:
Pour in 6–8 cups of cold, filtered water. Stir gently to mix. -
Infuse:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the flavors develop. -
Serve:
Pour over ice and garnish with extra lemon or cucumber slices.
💡 Tips
-
The cinnamon stick gives a gentle warmth — if you like a stronger spice note, let it steep longer or add a second stick.
-
Refill the pitcher with more water once or twice before replacing the ingredients (they’ll still infuse well).
-
Don’t leave lemon slices in the water more than 24 hours — they can turn bitter.
🌿 Benefits (when enjoyed regularly)
-
Cucumber: Hydrating and soothing.
-
Lemon: Rich in vitamin C and aids digestion.
-
Cinnamon: May help balance blood sugar and add gentle warmth to your metabolism.
Would you like me to give you a “warm version” — a detox-style cinnamon lemon infusion for sipping first thing in the morning?
