Tired of chugging plain water like it’s a punishment? Throw some flavor in there—this combo hydrates, helps digestion, and actually tastes good. No weird ingredients, just stuff you already have.
How to make it:
- Grab a pitcher or big jar.
- Add:
- ½ a cucumber, sliced
- A few thin slices of ginger (more if you like the kick)
- A handful of fresh mint leaves (crush ‘em a little to wake ‘em up)
- ½ a lemon, sliced (keep the peel on)
- Fill with cold water, stash in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors get friendly.
Sip it all day. Refill the water once or twice—the ingredients keep giving.
Boom. You’re hydrated, your stomach’s happy, and your water doesn’t suck. Win.
(Also, pro tip: Skip the sad desk soda—this’ll give you way more energy.)
