Tipps

Use Organic Ingredients When Possible

To maximize the health benefits and flavor, try to use organic cucumber and mint whenever possible.

Adjust Sweetness To Suit Your Taste

If you prefer your drink less sweet, you can reduce or even omit the honey. Alternatively, if you need it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more honey.

Allow Enough Infusion Time

Let the cucumber and mint infuse for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld and the water absorb the refreshing essence. The longer you can let it infuse, the stronger the flavor will be.

Stay Hydrated

This drink is a great way to keep hydrated in a delicious, low-histamine way. Aim to drink 8 glasses a day and more during hot weather or exercise.
