     nice change to water. I like adding oranges in my water as well. - 3/16/09

     I am allergic to citrus fruits so I had to alter the ingredients. I use pineapple chunks in place of the lemon and it really was refreshing. I let my 4 children taste it and they all liked it and even said they would drink it again. This is something I never would have thought of. - 10/9/07

     I have always used lemon in my water now I will enjoy the addition of the cucumber for some extra refreshment - 3/16/09

     find it hard to choke down my 8 cups every day! this was a GREAT twist!
    I have also added ground fresh ginger root for a little kick ~ strain through cheese cloth or coffe filter first. - 1/19/09

     I dont like plain water, and drinking it with just lemon gets old, I made this back in the summer and have found myself making it about once a week since! Thanks for the great idea! - 12/21/07

  • LADYGRRIMM
     I used to drink this a lot, especially when I was pregnant. It was great, because I hate drinking plain water. I love having flavor in what I drink. I will say, even cucumbers & lemon got kind of boring after a while, but, still, I love this trick to help make water more interesting. - 1/1/15
