FAQ

How long do you leave cucumbers in water?

How long can you keep cucumbers in water? Cucumber can be infused overnight (or for up to 12 hours), at which point you should remove the cucumber from the water. Then your infused water can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Should you peel cucumbers for water?

We found that the flavor changed very little when we used a vegetable peeler to remove the cuke’s skin before slicing. But, leaving the peel on makes for a more eye-catching, enticing pitcher of water (which is especially key if you’re serving a pretty jug of infused Cucumber Water at a picnic or party).

Can you just put cucumber in water?

Cucumber water is a very hydrating drink. It has many potential health benefits, including weight loss, lowering blood pressure, helping bone health, and improving skin health. It is simple to make, and people can enjoy it at any time.

How much cucumber water should I drink daily?

As always, consult your doctor first and foremost before beginning any diet, including cucumber detox water for weight loss. Drink at least 4 cups of it a day, especially before the main meals and/or between the meals.
