Lemon & Mint Detox Water for Daily Cleansing
Filtered water infused with thin lemon slices and fresh mint for a light, refreshing sip all day long.
This is about as simple as recipes get — slice, crush, steep, and pour, with no cooking or blending involved.
Lemon and mint infused water is a common go-to for people focused on daily cleanse habits, mostly because it's an easy way to make plain water more appealing to drink throughout the day. There's no added sugar here, just the natural brightness of citrus and the cooling note of fresh mint.
Let it infuse for at least ten minutes, then keep the pitcher in the fridge and refill glasses as needed.
Refill the pitcher with fresh water once or twice, since the lemon and mint will keep infusing for a second and even third round. It's a simple way to make hydration throughout the day feel a little less like a chore.
