It’s easy to make a cucumber water infusion drink… this section will show you how.

And it will supply you with tips and tricks to keep your cucumber water tasting yummy.

10 Detox Cucumber Water Recipes for Weight Loss

How to Make Cucumber Detox Water:

  1. To a carafe or pitcher, add all the fruit and herbs.
  2. Use a muddler (or potato masher) to gently mash the fruit and herbs to release their flavors.
  3. Add the water, mix together, and let marinate for 2 hours in the fridge before serving.

Special Tips on Making Fruit Infused Water Recipes:

  • Use a Fruit Infused Water Pitcher to make these drinks! The canister in the center of the pitcher will hold the fruit and herbs submerged. This will intensify the flavor!
  • If you don’t have a fruit infused pitcher, add 3 cups of ice to the top of the water. Do not mix, but instead add to the fridge. As the ice slowly melts it will keep the fruit submerged longer. This will intensify the flavor!

Tips on Taking your Cucumber Water “To Go”:

You can cut cucumbers into thin sticks and add them to a water bottle (be sure to drink or pour out a little water first) and they are easily added to travel containers as well.

Plus, you can keep adding more water to your bottle- leaving the cucumbers in – about 3 times before you need to replace the cucumbers.

Special Tips on Making Cucumber Water Recipes

I have been making infused water recipes for some time now, and I have become well versed on how to make the most flavorful and nutritious drinks.

Here you will find my Infused Water Tips to help you get the most of the recipes above.

1. Get an Infusion Bottle or Pitcher-

When you use an infusion water bottle or pitcher, the ingredients in your fruit infused water are submerged in the water. They won’t float to the top. This will help increase the flavor and nutrition.

2. If you don’t have an Infusion Bottle or Pitcher-

Use Ice! Add all the ingredients to a pitcher, then top with ice… a lot of ice. It will hold down the fruit as it melts, and help keep the ingredients submerged longer.

3. Get Organic-

In fruit infused drinks you are looking for health benefits and flavor. But all the pesticides in non-organic produce will leach into your healthy drink… making it unhealthy! Organic cucumbers are almost the same price as non-organic… so spend the extra $0.50 or $1.00 and get the healthier version.

4. Make the Night Before-

Before you go to bed tonight (or after dinner) make your infused water drink for tomorrow. It will take one less prep job off your hands, and you’ll wake up to perfectly infused water!

5. Change up the Ingredients-

Keep your taste buds guessing (and happy) by adding different fruits and herbs to your cucumbers water! I like to add the following ingredients when they are on sale:

  • Watermelon
  • Strawberries
  • Mango
  • Oranges
  • Thyme
  • Basil

Making infused water with cucumbers can help keep your tastebuds happy, while reducing bloat.
