Homemade/DIY Detox Water

So, I've decided to eat AND drink a bit more healthier since I'm anticipating a busy Fall season this year.  And with that, I want to feel healthier and better about myself.  Im finally transferring to a University full-time and so I feel that a bit of a lifestyle change is in order.  So far, I'm a bit more cautious of what I'm eating and now I want to accompany that with a healthy drinking habit as well.  And I would like to share with you an easy DIY Detox water "recipe" I put together with "home" ingredients that anybody can make and try.  I'm aware that their are many renditions to detox water and I find that convenient and useful as well.  The more, the better, right?  But I think it's also important to use fruits and vegetables that are already in our homes and put them through another beneficial use as well.  So experiment!  Definitely look up your favorite fruits and veggies online and read over their many benefits and adapt that in to your healthy regimen :)

What I used:

1-2 L Glass Mason Jar, washed

Boiled then cooled, water

2 packs of Green Tea

6-8 Slices of Cucumber

4-5 slices of Lemon, cut in halves

6-8 pieces of any berries you prefer

(I happened to use frozen ones since I don't have fresh ones)

Go ahead and pour your water in to the mason jar.

Insert both green tea packets first to start steeping them in to the water.

Add in your:

Cucumbers

Lemon wedges

Berries

Then take a big spoon and swirl everything inside the mason jar to start mixing all the flavors together.

If your mason jar comes with a lid then go ahead and pop it on and make sure it is sealed tightly (with green tea bags still inside; hang the tea strings out while screwing the lid on).  Then carefully position the jar to a horizontal position then proceed to slowly mix the water by moving it up and down with your hands.

*If you don't have a lid, grab some plastic wrap and/or a rubber band and cover it with that.

Finally, stick the jar in the fridge overnight and enjoy the next day for a refreshing, yet healthy drink :)

Thanks for reading!
