I've been drinking a cup or two of this everyday and I love it so I thought I'd share!

In 2 quarts of water, peel and cut 1 cucumber(thinly sliced), 1 lemon(thinly sliced), 10-12 mint leaves, and some grated ginger. It tastes great! I drink plain water all day anyway but this is a nice flavorful change :)

    I've seen that a lot on Pinterest but I haven't ever tried it. Normally I just put a bunch of cut lemons in my water...I'll have to give this a try!

    I've been doing either cucumber OR lemons. I'm going to mix it up and add the mint and ginger. Thanks for the recipe!

    Usually I just drink water. It comes out of my kitchen sink, anytime I want it. No additives or preservatives. And it's water.

    Bump...this sounds delish! I need a way to drink more water...I drink it, but I really don't much like plain water and I have to force it down.

    In the morning I start off with apple/cinnamon water. Put two Fugi apples cut up, 2 sticks of cinnamon and cover it half way with ice in a pitcher and than add water. Let it sit over night and it is really refreshing. I also drink lemon water as a change up in the morning. After that, it's regular water all day long. :drinker:

    Keep it below 1200. That seems to work for a lot of people, but you might go into dehydration mode, which isn't a good thing.

    Why's it called Skinny? I thought zero-calories was skinny.

    But does it still 'count' as water once you've added stuff to it? :laugh:

    won't the cucumber and lemon end up putting me over my daily sugar allowance? sounds unhealthy to me.

    Deuterium is expensive. You might end up on a terrorist watch list for trying to buy it.

    You mean I can't find it on the interwebs? I thought I could find everything I ever wanted on the interwebs!

    It's called skinny water because supposedly it helps to boost your metabolism.

    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.

    Sounds like it might taste good and might be very refreshing. I wouldn't get too excited over the "boost metabolism" part, though.

    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
