Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water

By 76 Comments

I think cucumbers are the ultimate in “refreshing.” Mix them with lemons and some zesty cilantro leaves, and you’ve got the makings for a fresh and fabulous infused water. Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water is a flavorful way to stay hydrated.

Enjoy a glass (or two) or Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water!

We all know we should be drinking plenty of water. Some of us are good about getting enough, and others like myself (and I’m talking to you, Mom!) need a gentle reminder. With a pitcher of Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water within reach, you’ll find yourself filling your glass more often than not, and that’s a good thing!

I feel a little silly writing up a recipe for… water. However, before I decided to post this, I checked in with a few people I know and asked what they thought about this as a recipe. They all said they’ve had infused water – think hotel lobbies and spas – but don’t think to make it at home. They also said they love how pretty and refreshing it is.

For Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water, you only need a few things to stay hydrated!

Well then, here you have it: a recipe for water. Infused water. Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water, to be more precise.

I made a half-gallon of this water and it didn’t last long. Think of your fruity options! You can combine pretty much any fruit with any herbs (or no herbs) with filtered or sparkling water to create a simple, refreshing drink.

Just one pitcher of Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water and you'll be hooked!

Use organic fruits and herbs if you can, and don’t forget to wash them thoroughly before using them. I peel the cucumber first because I think the skin adds a bit of bitterness after it sits in the water for a while. Bruise the cilantro leaves with the back of a wooden spoon, add the remaining ingredients and enjoy.

Some infused waters need to sit a while for the flavors to blend, but I find this version is delicious immediately. Keep refrigerated and enjoy this water within a day or so.

Stay hydrated with a fabulous drink like Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water.

  14. I've always heard how great lemon water is for you, but it's hard for me to handle the lemon flavor on its own. Adding cucumber and cilantro would go a LONNGGGG way in making it more appealing for me :) Can't wait to try this!

  15. Yep, I've always been one of those people who enjoys these drinks when ready made at a hotel or cafe but never made my own. Excuse me while I run away from my computer and go make this right now! Haha :)

  23. As I sit here reading your post, I'm sipping a glass of lemon water. I don't know why I didn't think to add cucumber to it. I'm intrigued by the addition of cilantro, I'll bet it's really great. Flavoring my water seems to be the only way I drink more of it.
