Print Recipe

This refreshing cucumber mint electrolyte water is a naturally hydrating, budget-friendly alternative to sugary sports drinks. Made with simple ingredients like cucumber, mint, lemon, and sea salt, it’s crisp, clean, and perfect for staying hydrated all day long.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cucumber (English or Persian, about 8–10 inches long), thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (about 15–20 leaves), gently bruised
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon high-quality sea salt (e.g., Redmond Real Salt or Celtic Sea Salt)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 6 cups filtered water
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash all produce thoroughly under cool water and pat dry.
  2. Slice the cucumber thinly (about 1/8-inch thick).
  3. Slice the lemon into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick), removing any seeds.
  4. Gently bruise the mint leaves by clapping them between your palms or pressing with the flat side of a knife.
  5. Layer ingredients in a large pitcher: start with a layer of cucumber slices, then lemon slices, then a few mint leaves. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
  6. Sprinkle the sea salt over the top. If using honey or maple syrup, drizzle it in now.
  7. Pour in the filtered water (room temperature or cold).
  8. Stir gently with a long spoon to dissolve the salt and sweetener.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better) to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Serve over ice. Optionally, strain out solids before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, remove cucumber and mint after 24 hours to prevent bitterness. The liquid will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. If you want a stronger mint flavor, gently muddle the mint leaves in the bottom of the pitcher before adding other ingredients. Use room temperature water for faster infusion.
