Lemon, cucumber, and mint
Lemons not only have a refreshing taste, but are also naturally high in vitamin C and antioxidants. Cucumbers are also antioxidants and can help lower blood pressure. Other nutrients such as calcium and iron are good for digestion and are added to this recipe by mint.
Recipe
- Preparation time: 3 minutes
- Ingredients: 1 lemon, cucumber, mint, 1 glass of water
Wash the lemon, cucumber, and mint. Cut the lemon in half and slice one half. Next, cut four thin slices from the cucumber. Separate the mint leaves from the stems. Squeeze the remaining half of the lemon into the glass of water, add the cucumber and lemon slices and mint leaves, and stir.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for one hour and enjoy.
Orange & Ginger
It's no coincidence that orange juice is a popular breakfast drink – oranges are packed with vitamin C and therefore help the immune system. Ginger, on the other hand, aids digestion and can lower blood pressure. Together, ginger and orange are an excellent team for both health and taste!
Recipe
- Preparation time: 3 minutes
- Ingredients: 4 slices of orange, 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, 1 glass of water
Wash the orange and cut off 4 slices. Peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices. Add the orange and ginger to the glass of water and leave to infuse in the refrigerator for an hour. Enjoy cold.
Basil & Grapefruit
Basil is popular in cooking for pizza and sauces, but it also makes an excellent drink. The herb is rich in vitamin K, which helps blood circulation and the formation of white blood cells. Grapefruit is low in calories and therefore very popular in keto or low-carb diets. It gives the drink a refreshing acidity and also helps build muscle.
Recipe
- Preparation time: 3 minutes
