Detox Water - Lemon, Cucumber, Mint Water

So I have a new favorite refreshing drink. Cucumber water. I’m not a big water person to begin with so I always end up with some form of soda or juice or tea with wayy too much sugar. The fact I found a flavor water I actually enjoy that isn’t artificial is amazing and share-able! 
Not only is it delicious but it actually is also very beneficial
 1. Alkalizes the Body
2. Promotes Healing
3. Helps Clear Skin
4. Aids in Digestion
5. Boosts Energy Levels
 Ingredients:
One (1) cucumber, sliced thinly
Juice of one (1) lemon, and sliced if preferred
Filtered water
Mint leaves to taste
Place Sliced cucumber into a pitcher. Pour Lemon juice over top cucumber slices. Slowly pour filtered water to top of pitcher. Add mint leaves (I preferred to stuff mine into a loose tea infuser) and keep the infuser on the side of the pitcher. Put in fridge and sit over night to completely infuse and all the rich goodness is swirled together. 
The next morning, fill a glass to the top with ice and pour the infused water over top the ice. Try to wake up with a nice glass of detox water instead of coffee. It’s a great refreshing feeling!
