A Refreshing, Thirst-Quenching Delight

What simple sorcery is this… this thirst-quenching treat called cucumber mint water? It’s so easy to make, you won’t believe it when you’re done, and looking around the kitchen for more things to do! Just grab the freshest mint you can find, some just-right cucumbers and your favorite pitcher, because we’re making easy cucumber mint water!

Simple Ingredients for Super Simple Cucumber Mint Water

  • Water – I like using cold, filtered water in this recipe because it’s got the best taste. Also, cold water won’t inadvertently cook your cucumber slices into a mushy, unpleasant texture.
  • Cucumber slices – choose a cucumber that’s still firm and crunchy. Not sure what that means? Cut into your cucumber and try munching on a slice. It’ll have an audible crunch to it.
  • Fresh mint – one of my absolute favorite ingredients. Fresh mint adds a wonderful, refreshing & cooling effect to cucumber mint water. It’s so delightful!

What’s the Deal with Cucumber Mint Water?

So, what are the benefits of drinking cucumber mint water, anywho? Here’s are a few of them:

Hydrates

While this might seem like an obvious one, you might find it fascinating that cucumber mint water can help with hydration. But how is it different from any other water? Well, for one, it tastes better! It can be a struggle to get folks to drink the recommended 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. [1] But add some fresh cucumbers and cool mint? It can be a breeze!

Also, cucumbers are one of the juiciest fruits! Just one medium-sized cucumber contain 287g of water. [2] [3]

Lowers Blood Pressure

One source of high blood pressure is high intake of salt/sodium-rich foods and drinks. One way to combat high amounts of sodium? Potassium-rich foods like bananas and cucumbers! Potassium helps “regulate the amount of sodium retained by kidneys” because it’s an electrolyte. [4] This cucumber mint water recipe is packed with potassium!

Antioxidants to Fight Disease & Chronic Conditions

Cucumbers are high in antioxidants such as beta carotene, vitamin C, manganese and more! [5] [6] Antioxidants are beneficial because they can help to slow or reduce the risk of diseases and cancers by “prevent[ing] or reduc[ing] the damage caused by oxidation.” [7]

Great for Bone Health

Even better? Cucumbers are rich in vitamin K, with over 20% of your RDI (recommended daily intake) of vitamin K in just 1 cup. [8] It just so happens that vitamin K is a crucial nutrient for building strong bones and tissue, leading to good bone health and helping to prevent blood clots.

Can Help with…

The promotion of healthy skin, weight loss and more! [9]

How to Make Cucumber Mint Water

It is beyond easy to learn how to make cucumber mint water. Check out the steps below:

Grab your favorite medium-sized pitcher—here’s mine. Give it a rinse to make sure it’s nice and clean.

Now, fill the pitcher with water and freshly sliced cucumber slices.

Wash your fresh mint leaves, pat to dry, then drop into the pitcher. Using a big wooden spoon, stir everything together in the pitcher.

Pop the pitcher of cucumber and mint water into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. It’s best if you refrigerate the water overnight. Then, pour into glasses and enjoy!
