Alkaline Infused Water

To make alkaline water infused with cucumber, mint leaves, coriander leaves, carrot, and lemon, follow these instructions:

Alkaline Infused Water Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Handful of fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Filtered water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:
    • Wash all the ingredients thoroughly under cold running water.
    • Slice the cucumber, carrot, and lemon into thin rounds.
    • Tear the mint leaves and coriander leaves slightly to release their flavors.
  2. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large pitcher or glass container, layer the sliced cucumber, mint leaves, coriander leaves, carrot slices, and lemon slices.
  3. Add Filtered Water:
    • Pour filtered water over the ingredients in the pitcher until it’s completely filled. Ensure that all the ingredients are submerged in the water.
  4. Mix Gently:
    • Using a spoon or a stirrer, gently mix the ingredients to distribute the flavors evenly.
  5. Cover and Let it Sit:
    • Cover the pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent contamination.
    • Leave the infused water to sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours. This allows the flavors of the ingredients to infuse into the water and potentially alkalize it.
  6. Strain (Optional):
    • After 12 hours, you can strain the infused water to remove the solid ingredients if desired. Alternatively, you can leave them in for added flavor.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Pour the infused water into glasses filled with ice, if desired.
    • Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves or lemon slices for presentation, if desired.
    • Sip and enjoy your refreshing alkaline-infused water!
  8. Storage:
    • Any leftover infused water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, for the best flavor and freshness, it’s recommended to consume it within 24 hours.

Note:

  • Alkaline water infused with cucumber, mint, coriander, carrot, and lemon offers a refreshing and hydrating beverage with potential health benefits.
  • While these ingredients are known for their alkalizing properties, the extent to which they alkalize the water may vary. Individual responses to alkaline water can also vary.
  • It’s essential to consume alkaline water as part of a balanced diet and not rely solely on it for health benefits.
  • If you have any health concerns or conditions, consult with healthcare professionals before making significant dietary changes.
