8. 5 cups water
1 tsp. grated ginger
1 cucumber (sliced)
1 lemon (sliced)
spearmint leaves, a dozen or so (I leave them whole)
Combine everything and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Drink!
That is the official recipe, but since cukes and lemons are not cheap, I used half the amount called for and it tasted just fine. Then the next day, I could make up another batch of sassy water.
The taste? It was refreshing. But I doubt it gets rid of belly fat...unless you quit eating.

Sounds nice and refreshing, might have to give it a try. I would hazard a guess it is meant to help because you drink it instead of snacking. I think ginger is supposed to suppress appetite
It sounds lovely, but I doubt it will really get rid of any fat. Still, lemon is cleansing, and ginger and spearmint are natural digestive aid, so I guess it can't hurt!
I want to try this!
It does sound refreshing. Thanks for the recipe. The only way I can get rid of belly fat is putting down the fork. Not always easy.
Sounds YUMMY! I will try this refreshing drink soon:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
It certainly looks good, and sounds refreshing. Has some good stuff in it. Yu never know-the cuccumber and lime might work together to flatten a tummy some!
Hi Nancy, sounds refreshing..let us know if it works!
