Cooling Yum!

Water is great, but let's be honest, sometimes it can be a little boring. If juice is too sweet for you and soda is too... liquid chemically, then this is the beverage for you.

Perfect for summer because of its' cooling effect, alkalizing for your ph balance to aid digestion, and full of immune boosting vitamin C and other nutrients, this is what I call functionally thirst-quenching (cucumbers also contain something called silica which is good for all the tissue in the body, it helps rejuvenate skin, reduce inflammation, and improve complexion). This simple and delicious drink will satisfy your thirst and your taste buds too!

Just combine water, sliced cucumber, lemon, and ginger, and add a few mint leaves if you have them in a pitcher. That's it. It's not too sweet but it's refreshing and just yum! The best part is that when you've finished about half of it, you can just add more water and then when you drink half of THAT you can add more water again, the flavor will get diluted but hey it's still got a leg up on regular ol' water and it'll last for days!
