We all know we should be drinking plenty of water. Some of us are good about getting enough while others, like myself, could occasionally use a gentle reminder (I’m talking to you, Mom!). 

I actually wound up at urgent care recently with what I thought was an ear infection. I was dizzy, my ears hurt, and I felt like crap. Turns out I was simply dehydrated!

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. And I do, too!

Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water is so refreshing! You'll love a big glass of Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water!

I made a half-gallon of this water and it didn’t last long. Think of the fruity options you have aside from this refreshing water.

For fruity drinks of a different sort, try my recipes for Blueberry Italian Cream Soda or Strawberry Aqua Fresca. Both taste amazing and are easy to make at home.

Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water is a delightfully refreshing drink. Make a pitcher of Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water today!

Use organic fruits and herbs to make this, 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.

  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.

  39. You need to be congratulated for suggesting this refreshing infused water idea.! The photos alone are refreshing! I love the pinwheel. Suggests the coming of summer, and I don’t mind rushing it! I’m still not a fan of cilantro, but I think I would enjoy it w/this combination.
