Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water is a flavorful way to stay hydrated. Cucumbers are so super-bad refreshing, aren’t they? Mix them with lemons and some zesty cilantro leaves, and you’ve got the makings for a fresh and fabulous infused water.

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.

Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water is a drink to keep on hand all season. Lemon, Cucumber & Cilantro Infused Water is refreshing anytime of year.

      Oh, I know! It is sort of crazy, but I asked a few friends and they hadn't thought of doing it before! So...hopefully it's good for some ;)

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    Cucumber water immediately reminds me of a spa. And you're right - something so simple, but I've never made it at home..gonna try now.

    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.

      Thanks a bunch! I thought the pinwheel (it's a straw!) was cute, too! Instead of cilantro, try mint! Enjoy!
