Watermelon Detox Water


Watermelon Detox Water
Ingredients
  • 1 lemon (optional)
  • a handful of mint leaves
  • a large chunk of watermelon (basically what fills your pitcher)
  • 1-2 liters of water
Instructions
  1. When making it, if you use less water, it'll be stronger and more flavorful. More water means it'll be a little weaker, or last longer.
  2. Slice a large chunk of watermelon into cubes, including the rind, and put them in your pitcher.
  3. Cut the lemon into wedges and toss in with the watermelon.
  4. Add some fresh mint leaves and pour water into the pitcher.
  5. Allow it to sit overnight so the flavors steep and infuse into the water like tea.

Ammonia is a by-product of the proteins are burning up constantly for energy and if allowed to build becomes damaging to our cells. Cucumber also contains citrulline, which is worth noting.
