Sassy Water

[Jann]

Although clearly I'm not following any diets I do try to keep up and take the strength from what they present. I'm always on a quest to find drinkables because I bore of Crystal Light and I can't stand full on water.

2 liters water (about 8 1/2 cups)

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 medium cucumber. peeled and thinly sliced

1 medium lemon thinly sliced

12 small spearmint leaves

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and let flavors blend overnight. Cucumber and lemon are natural dirutetics and gingers and spearment help relieve bloating. Make it to suit your personal sweet spot. I halved the cucumber and upped the lemon and ginger. I found it to be far too much cucumber flavour personally.

EXCELLENT recipe! I've something close to this but using papaya. I will have to dig it up and share it. But this is a good, simple drink, and like you, I hate to drink plain o' water by it self...it 'needs' a kick in it to entice me!

Thanks Jann!

Thanks Jann for this new refreshing drink. I followed your suggestions about halving the cucs and more on the lemon and ginger. In addition, I added lime too. Fantastic flavors for my palate!
