For most people, wellness is no longer an afterthought; rather, it’s an integral part of their daily routine, guiding everything, from meal prep to hydration. That’s how detox water rose to popularity. Detox water is nothing but homemade flavored water infused with natural ingredients like fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. There are multiple varieties of detox water, but the one that’s easiest to make (and also the most popular) is lemon, cucumber, and mint detox water. Detox water comes together in minutes but needs 2-8 hours of infusion time.
Rinse all the ingredients. Now, thinly slice the lemon and cucumber. If the lemons are small in size, use 1.5 instead of 1. Chop the mint leaves and peel and slice the ginger (if using).

Make and refrigerate the detox water
In a large jug, mason jar, or glass bottle, add all the dry ingredients. Now, pour 1 litre of water and gently stir. Cover it tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse. Ideally, refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
