Cucumber, Lemon and Mint Infused Water

I used to drink a lot of diet soda back in the day. And by a lot, I mean about 1-2 cans a day. Which, to me, is a lot. Maybe to you it’s not. I know it was diet so I wasn’t really getting all that extra sugar, but it was still soda. And it still wasn’t good for me.

When I was pregnant with Kelsey, I cut back on the soda big time and started drinking lots of water. The things we do for our kids, right? Drinking water instead of soda is a habit that has stuck and I actually prefer water over soda.

There are some days, though, that I really miss having flavor in my drinks. Especially on a hot summer day. I just need a little something, something in my water without having to reach for a diet soda or other artificially flavored drink.

Homemade infused water is the perfect solution. My favorite combination is cucumber, lemon and mint. I have an herb garden and every summer I have a ton of mint. It seriously grows like a weed so adding it to my water is a perfect way to keep the mint under control and keep it from taking over the rest of my herb garden.

If you’re a little bit skeptical about having cucumber in your water, don’t be! It gives such an amazing and fresh taste. I love it! The cucumber flavor is actually my favorite part of this infused water.

I’ve seen this infused water recipe all over Pinterest listed as an infused water and as a detox water. Now, I don’t really know enough about detoxing to go into details about the health benefits of it, so please don’t ask. I don’t want to give anybody misguided advice. I do know this though, this water is refreshing and delicious. Anything else is a bonus. Enjoy!

    I found this same recipe a month ago except it had limes added, and it was called a detox water. I found the limes made it taste too bitter so I eliminated them. I’ve been making this nightly and taking it to work with me for the past 2 weeks. I am 40 yrs old and have drank multiple cokes a day my whole life and always hated water. I’m proud to say I’ve been soda free for 2 weeks (tried one yesterday and didn’t even want it). I can’t wait to see the lbs start shedding and to start feeling better. I mentally feel better knowing I’m not putting those chemicals and all that sugar in my body anymore. This is the way to make a water hater into a water lover. โค

    Good for you to get off the soda and drink more water. I’m trying to get my hubby, who is diabetic to get off of soda, but he’s having such a hard time. I LOVE water and can totally see myself drinking this. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday and hope to see you again tonight at 6pm PST.

      It is hard giving up soda but once you’re used to not drinking it, it’s like why did I ever want it in the first place?! Making that step is tough though. Good luck to your hubby ๐Ÿ™‚
