Tipps
Choose Fresh Ingredients
Fresh cucumbers and mint leaves will significantly enhance the flavor of your infused water. Try to use them as fresh as possible for an unmatched taste.
Give It Time
Make sure to let your water infuse for at least an hour, the longer it infuses, the more intense the flavor becomes.
Re-use Your Ingredients
Don't throw your cucumber and mint away after the first use. You can refill the pitcher with water and let it infuse again for another delightful round of refreshment.
Consider the Lemon
If you are certain that citrus won't trigger your histamine intolerance, a bit of fresh lemon juice can add a slight tart and zesty kick. However, omit if you are sensitive to citrus.
