Detox water is essentially water that has been infused with fruits, vegetables, and herbs, designed to help the body eliminate toxins and provide a burst of flavor. While the body has its own natural detoxification mechanisms, staying hydrated is crucial to support these processes. Proper hydration helps the kidneys and liver function effectively, allowing them to flush out waste and toxins more efficiently.

Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

1 medium lemon, thinly sliced

10-12 fresh mint leaves

1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

8 cups of filtered water

Ice cubes (optional for chilling)

Instructions
 

Begin by washing the cucumber and lemon thoroughly under cool running water to eliminate any dirt and pesticides. This ensures your detox water is as clean as possible.

    Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumber into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Repeat this process with the lemon, making sure to create similar round slices. Setting them in uniform thickness helps to infuse the flavors evenly.

      In a large pitcher, combine the freshly sliced cucumber, lemon, and mint leaves. If you choose to include chia seeds for an extra health boost and a fun texture, add them at this stage as well.

        Carefully pour the filtered water over the mixture in the pitcher, ensuring all the sliced ingredients are fully submerged for maximum flavor extraction.

          With a long spoon, gently stir the mixture to help the ingredients combine, allowing the vibrant flavors of the cucumber, lemon, and mint to mingle.

            Cover the pitcher with a lid or some plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to infuse for at least 1 to 2 hours. For the best flavor, consider letting it sit overnight, allowing the ingredients to impart their refreshing qualities to the water.

              When the infusion time is complete, prepare your serving glasses by filling each with ice cubes if desired. Pour the detox cucumber water over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a nice amount of the infused goodness.

                For a visually appealing presentation, garnish each glass with more fresh mint leaves or additional slices of cucumber, inviting everyone to enjoy this delightful beverage.
