I came upon this several nights ago browsing Pinterest, (YES, I TOO AM HOOKED). The origin is SITNOSECKANO.com I cannot tell you the country or the language but it does say it is a refreshing lemonade and aids in weight loss in the caption in English. It is quite lovely steeping in my refrigerator.
This morning after doing my out of doors chores I was hot, sweaty, and tired and thought to try this for the first time. It was really different. Hints of the mint, lemon, ginger, and cucumber were totally refreshing as I enjoyed the whole glass. I think you were just supposed to drink some every day and that was that.
Ingredients:
2 L. ( 1 L. is about 95% of a quart) So, I used a scant 1/2 gallon and called it close enough!
1 medium cucumber washed and sliced into rounds
1 lemon washed and sliced into rounds
10-12 fresh mint leaves washed
1 t. fresh grated ginger
Combine all of the above ingredients in a pitcher or jar and cover. Steep in the refrigerator overnight then drink some each day.
Don't have a clue as to if this works for weight loss. I just found it refreshing and attractive!
Love the idea, and will make one tonight. :) Thanks for sharing!
