Consumption advice
Fill a glass bottle and sip from it all day and during workouts; it encourages you to drink plenty of water if you don’t enjoy the taste of plain water.
Best preparation methods
Gently bruise the mint leaves with a spoon to release the aromatic menthol oils, and soak everything in iced water in the fridge for two hours before drinking; don’t squeeze the lemon hard or it turns bitter.
Important Nutritional Note
It has almost no calories or starch, so the glycemic index does not apply; cucumber and lemon give light doses of potassium and vitamin C that support hydration and blood pressure control.
