Light, refreshing, just what I was looking for to prepare for a BBQ today. Wanted a satisfying drink but without sugar. I doubled the amount of cucumber and lemon slices and added two sprigs of fresh lemon verbena from the herb garden; ice cubes.

Not only is this delicious, it's good for you too. Cucumber has many properties which are good for the skin and body, including fiber and it contains a variety of beneficial minerals including silica, potassium and magnesium. Silica, in case you didn't know, can improve the health and complexion of your skin, plus the cucumbers hydrating effect is a must for glowing skin. So, not only is this a good drink, it is good for you! Add a few mint sprigs for even more flavor.

This is wonderful! What I can add is that the cucumber flavors the water more strongly than does the lemon. So, I usually put about half the amount of cucumber as lemon to balance out the flavors. This is a great way to get yourself to drink more of that healthy water!!!

I made a pitcher and put it in the fridge. I like the flavor and will probably keep some on hand often.

I live in Kansas City, where the heat index has been well over 100 degrees for a week, and it is NOT a dry heat. This stuff is a perfect antidote. It starts off with the lemon flavor, and then finishes with the cucumber. I've already gotten my mom hooked on this, and my DH chose this over bourbon. We keep a pitcher in the fridge and top it off when we get a glass; this is day three and the flavor is only slightly starting to fade. LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

I tried this out of curiosity, since I drink 80 oz. of water per day. This really is refreshing as it takes the boringness out of water! LOL Thanks for submitting this, now I'm sure to get my water intake even on the weekends.

I do this often. For dinner, we almost always have water with our meal. This makes it especially nice when we have guests. Someone always comments on the cucumber. Refreshing, clean and doesn't overpower your meal.

I also first tried this recipe at a day spa...minus the lemons. The longer the cucumbers sit in water, the better, more flavorful the water becomes. Do not use a plastic jar; it won't work. I bought a glass sun tea cooler glass jar from Walmart which has a spout on the bottom of the jar. I sliced the cucumbers, poured filtered water on top and put it in the fridge for several days. Whenever I drink a cup of cucumber water, I put a cup of filtered water back into the jar. I think the lemon, lime, or orange addition will be tasty too but I haven't tried it, yet. The biggest key to success is using a glass jar and letting it sit for days. ENJOY!

I first had this water at Esperanza's Spa in Cabo (Mexico), but they used lime instead of lemon. We love it! They serve it at room temperature which is also wonderful. I love the smell of the cucumber in the water!

Wonderful and refreshing! This is making it a lot easier to get my glasses of water in each day. This will be a constant in my fridge. The funny thing is a day after I made this water at home, I went to my salon and they had it there too!
