Description
At its most basic level, Cucumber Mint Spa Water is a form of infused water, often referred to as “detox water” or “spa water.” It involves the process of cold-steeping fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs in plain water to extract their subtle essences, vitamins, and minerals. Unlike juices or smoothies, there is no blending or squeezing involved. The goal is a light, ethereal flavor profile that cleanses the palate and hydrates the body.
