FrederickSebastian Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I know everyone says you should get at least 8 cups of plain water a day for health but I absolutely despise the taste of plain water. I am wondering if I put a cucumber in water and let it sit overnight will this count as my daily intake of water or does putting cucumber in it for flavor destroy the benefits? I am guessing I'll be fine. Also, does drinking green tea count as water intake? What about decaf green tea? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBAvoider Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I too find it hard to consume plain water. I'm fine with sparkling water. I see no issue with cucumber water, nor green tea unless you're super sensitive to caffeine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 IMO, green tea and cucumber water are perfectly all right. Other ways to improve the taste of water: A few drops of lemon A very little stevia in it gives a floreal taste without being sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 What's wrong with the taste of sink water is the chlorine. Cucumber overnight helps to get rid of that taste. -- Saul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Allen Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I didn't like the taste of our tap water and put in an under sink reverse osmosis filter system which resolved the issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drcha Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Maybe you have tried it. Cucumber water is tasty. But you'll only need a small slice or two to flavor a lot of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickSebastian Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Yeah... for some reason I only like the taste of cucumber water when the skin is peeled... I know it's weird but it does taste different!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
