Sassy Water
2 litres water
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 medium cucumber. peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium lemon thinly sliced
12 small spearmint leaves (I use regular mint leaves)
Combine all ingredients in a large container and let flavors blend overnight.
I don't measure it - and I don't use a whole cucumber or lemon. But I do make it each day, and drink it at work. Since doing that I have lost 1kg each week. I'm not claiming that the extra ingredients make me lose weight (although they are supposed to help with fluid retention) but I believe that having the container of yummy water in my fridge at work makes me want to drink, so I do get through all the water daily.
Thanks Deb, I was actually going to message you about sassy water after noticing you write about it in reply to a thread on the boards. I had even bought the ginger and lemon yesterday. I'll have to get sume cucumber and mint leaves and give it a go.

Hey hey Deb! You look fantastic!!!! I was inspired to drink the water too after reading that you do. It has gotten me through the most hectic week of my life this past week and it is so refreshing on a hot day! Wowee you look great!!! I also find I dont use a whole cucumber and I like a little extra mint....but it certainly is delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb!
ReplyDeleteI do understand SAS!!! I actually think the music teacher from our Elementary school went to SAS last year...I think!
I am ok after the op thanks for asking....still a wee bit tender but with the end of the school year rolling by I have no time to think about it!!! HA
Mmm that sounds interesting! Might have to give it a go! I already drink lots of water, but it would be nice to spice it up a little. Off to the supermarket!!
