This spa-inspired water is packed with crisp, citrusy, and herbaceous flavors. The addition of liquid chlorophyll gives it that stunning, deep green hue and an extra boost of nutrients.
⏱️ Prep time: 10 minutes | 🥤 Servings: 1 large pitcher
Ingredients
-
1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
-
1 bunch fresh mint leaves, lightly slapped/bruised to release oils
-
1 large lime, thinly sliced
-
1 large lemon, thinly sliced
-
1–2 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated or finely minced (visible at the bottom of the pitcher)
-
15–30 drops liquid chlorophyll (adjust for your preferred depth of green)
-
Cold water & plenty of ice
📝 Instructions
-
Prep the Aromatics: Place the grated ginger and bruised mint leaves at the bottom of your pitcher.
-
Layer the Fruit: Add the sliced cucumbers, lime, and lemon. Press them slightly against the sides of the glass if you want that picture-perfect, layered look.
-
Fill & Chill: Fill the pitcher halfway with ice, then pour in cold water to top it off.
-
Go Green: Add the liquid chlorophyll drops and give it a gentle stir until the water turns a vibrant, uniform green.
-
Infuse: Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving so the ginger, mint, and citrus flavors can fully marry.
💡 Pro-Tip: If you want a more intense, juice-like flavor rather than an infused spa water, you can blend half of the cucumber and mint with a bit of water, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, and add that juice directly into the pitcher!
