Water flavored with lemon, ginger, cucumber and mint is thirst-quenching and digestive, a natural refreshing drink that surprises with the delicate essence of a Moscow Mule without its calories.
It can be enjoyed as a refreshing afternoon drink but also served as an after-meal drink.
The cucumber has a soothing action and the essential oils of ginger, lemon and mint stimulate intestinal functions. It may have diuretic effects.
