We all know how enjoyable a day at the spa can be. It's a luxury–some times a necessity– that leaves us relaxed, refreshed and feeling great.
As much as we all wish we could visit the spa on a regular basis, the truth is we can't. So, why not find simple ways to bring the spa to your home? Check out this refreshing spa drink that's also great for your skin; it's called Cucumber Water. Sounds delightful doesn't it?
- 1 cucumber sliced with peel on (plus extra for serving)
- 2 liters of water
- fresh mint sprigs
- 1/2 lemon sliced
- ice cubes
Mix water, cucumber, mint, and lemon in a large pitcher. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Before serving remove the cucumber slices used to flavor the water. Add ice cubes, fresh cucumber slices and a couple mint sprigs. Stir and enjoy!
Health Factor: Cucumbers have essential vitamins that promote cell growth and works as a great acne deterrent. It's also a rich source of antioxidants.

I make a cucumber strawberry water in the summer. I keep the sliced cucumber and strawberry in the pitcher and refill the pitcher as needed. After a few days I'll change the fruit. Mint and lemon sound like good add ins too, I'll have to try that next!
