    I don't put mint leaves but cucumber and lemon is really good in water. A nice change from plain water. Refreshing.

    I have made this before and it is wonderful. It was called Sassy Water. Maybe some of you would prefer that name instead??

    The ginger and mint is suppose to help sooth your GI tract (helps with bloating), lemons are a natural diuretic. Cucumber is suppose to help curb sugar cravings as well as bloating. And it tastes great, a nice change over regular water. Make it the night before and drink it the next day.

    What else do you guys put in your water? I drink about 10 cups a day, and sometimes I like little flavor additions like this ") The mint sounds delicious

    Berries are wonderful, I love making a pitcher of strawberry or raspberry water and letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight. In the winter it's great because you can use the frozen ones and just let them thaw in the water.

    I really thought this recipe was going to be

    Step 1: Grab glass
    Step 2: Hold glass under faucet
    Step 3: Turn on water
    Step 4: Once glass is full, turn off water
    Step 5: Bring glass to mouth
    Step 6: Drink water

    That's the recipe for DIET water. It's totally different than SKINNY water. Should I post the recipe for heavy water?

    Also, for all you downers...there's 6cals in an 8oz. cup and NO sugar :p
    Try it if it sounds good to you, if not keep your "funny" comments to yourself.

    You're not the boss of me!

    I prefer full-fat water.

    Would you like extra minerals with that?

    I may have to try this. Drinking enough water is my biggest problem. I'm a huge coffee and diet coke junkie :/

    I like my water cold, so I like to let ice melt in my glass. To hurry the process of melting along, I add Bourbon. Not really making me skinnier, but after my second or third one, I start to get handsomer and funnier.

    This would have to be pretty tasty to justify what a pain it sounds like to make. I'd rather drink the water and save time. At least that's what I've told myself every time I see recipes like this. Is it really that tasty? Or is it only slightly flavored?

    I drink fresh squeezed lemon juice in hot water every morning...gets the digestive system going. I don't seem to have crazy cravings now. Good stuff!

    I really DON'T understand why people feel the need to be so rude and cynical. Honestly... Get a life.

    Thank you for sharing! It's nice to add some natural flavor to water without adding chemicals every now and then.

    BWAHAHAHAHA....skinny water Now, if only I can avoid all those extra calories I get from the numerous servings of fat air I take in every day.
    It's called skinny water because supposedly it helps to boost your metabolism.

    :noway: It doesn't boost your metabolism but if adding low calorie flavours helps encourage people to drink water then that is fine.
