Orange Cucumber Detox Water
Ingredients:
- 10 cups of water
- 1 orange, cut into thin slices
- 9 mint leaves, torn
- 21 thin cucumber slices
- 7 thin lemon slices
- 3 sprigs fresh dill, stem cut off
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients into a water pitcher/jug. Let it sit for about an hour and then enjoy!
Notes:
The longer you let it sit, the stronger the flavor will be.
I personally enjoy a light infused flavor, and 1-2 hours taste perfect to me. You might want something stronger in flavor.
If you decide to leave it overnight, I recommend taking the peel off of the lemon and orange. This way it will not taste sour after sitting so many hours.
