You can serve it at any time of day (many people also drink it with meals), and feel free to take it with you to the beach in an insulated bottle (but be aware that it may have a diuretic effect). This cucumber, lime, mint and ginger flavored water tastes fantastic and has several beneficial properties: cucumber is a source of vitamins and has antioxidant properties, the essential oils in ginger stimulate the intestines, and lime is rich in citric acid, which aids digestion. In short, drinking flavored water is a pleasure and a great way to support our well-being in summer.
