Make a detox cold drink by adding sliced lemon, cucumber, and mint to cold water. Wash the produce first, chill the mixture so the flavours infuse, and serve it cold; skip added sugar if you want a lightly flavoured drink.
No, a detox cold drink does not remove toxins from your body. Your liver and kidneys handle that work; lemon, cucumber, and mint simply flavour the water and may make it more appealing to drink.
A detox cold drink does not cause weight loss on its own. Choosing it instead of a sugary drink can reduce what you drink’s added sugar and calories, but it does not burn fat or trigger a special detox.
A typical detox cold drink combines water with lemon, cucumber, and mint. The ingredients infuse the water with a fresh taste; recipes vary, and adding fruit juice, honey, or syrup makes the drink sweeter.
Chill a detox cold drink until the water takes on the flavour of the lemon, cucumber, and mint. Taste it as it infuses; leaving the ingredients in longer makes the flavour stronger, but can also make the cucumber and herbs taste less fresh.
A detox cold drink is best fresh, but you can keep it covered in the refrigerator and drink it the same day or the next day. The sliced produce softens and the flavour changes as it sits.
Yes, you can have a detox cold drink daily as a flavoured beverage. Keep it unsweetened if you prefer a lighter option, and remember that acidic lemon can affect tooth enamel; rinsing your mouth with water afterward is sensible.
There is no proven best time to drink a detox cold drink. Have it whenever you enjoy it, such as on a warm afternoon; drinking it at a particular time does not boost detoxification or fat loss.
A detox cold drink contributes fluid, but it does not need to replace plain water completely. Keep drinking water throughout the day, especially if your recipe includes juice or sweeteners that turn it into a sweeter beverage.
A detox cold drink is not a proven treatment for bloating. Staying hydrated may support normal digestion, but lemon, cucumber, and mint do not reliably relieve bloating, and the drink may bother you if acidic flavours trigger symptoms.

Detox cold drink usually means chilled water infused with lemon, cucumber and mint. The ingredients steep in the water to give it a fresh, subtle flavour; recipes may include other fruit, but it need not be sweetened. The name is a popular label for this style of drink, rather than a promise of a special cleansing effect.
Its clean, lightly tart taste suits warm weather and works alongside meals or as a refreshing alternative to sweet drinks. It can be served in a jug at the table, with extra lemon or mint if you like. At about 8 calories per 100 g, it is very low in energy. For the lightest version, skip syrup or honey and let the fruit and herbs provide the flavour.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
