идејата за оваа лимонада е од еден сајт за здрава исхрана/вежбање/слабеење, каде што пишува дека оваа лимонада помага во одржувањето рамен стомак. не можам да тврдам ништо за рамниот стомак, ама тврдам дека пијалоков е многу освежителен, особено за топли денови како денес.
the idea for this lemonade came from a health/fitness/nutrition site, where it says that this drink helps maintaining flat belly. i don’t know about the flat belly, but i know that this lemonade is very refreshing, especially in a hot day like today.
it’s very easy to make: in 2 l water add 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced, 1 lemon, thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger and around 10 spearmint leaves.
leave in the fridge for a few hours or overnight and in the morning you’ll have a cold and really refreshing drink.

Лимонадата е неодолива, многу освежителна. Јас додадов и сок од еден лимон за појак вкус. Благодарам за рецептот!

Clarissa, i don’t remember the brand of the pitcher, it was very old, from my grandmother, and i think it was from Bulgaria. it was very nice, made from thin glass and heatproof, but unfortunately it broke.
Clarissa R. says:

My grandmother had 2 of them and I believe hers broke when she moved. Thanks anyway.

Does this have to be done everyday? The water is really good and refreshing, I feel though as if I missed something. I used and followed the directions as given here. Good to know its simple if that’s all it is. Thanks

The teapot is made in the Czech republic by the company Kavalier under the brand SIMAX. Here are the pages in English.

Could you use some lemon juice instead of an actual lemon? I have plenty of lemon juice on hand and no lemons so I am just wondering if I could use that instead…and if so, how much of it? thanks!
bojana says:
Aug 27, 2012
erica, i’m sure you can use lemon juice. i sometimes put juice of one lemon along with the lemon slices. but, i can’t tell you how much juice to use, you need to experiment to get the flavour you like.

Do you just drink this once a day?
Dani says:
Aug 28, 2012
Are you suppose to drink the whole 2L in the day or just a glass?
bojana says:
Aug 28, 2012
E and Dani, it’s best to drink 2L a day, but it’s not a strict recipe, you can use it just as a refreshment in hot summer days.

Has anyone actually seen a weight loss by drinking this? Just wondering. And, do you have to use the fresh ginger?
Lori M says:
Aug 31, 2012
Sounds refreshing, wondering too if anyone has actually LOST weight by drinking this. And by ‘detoxing’ does this include all the ‘junk & heavy metals’ our bodies hold?
Brianna says:
Aug 31, 2012
Yes, I would like to know if people have seen results such as weight loss and dextox and a fress body feeling? or is it just a nice drink?

i also would like to know if anyone has lost any belly fat from this drink… i have done made mine it is very good but i want to know if it really works for belly fat.
bojana says:
Sep 8, 2012
i think this lemonade helps more with bloating than belly fat. please, google “sassy water” to find more about it’s effects.
we usually make it for it’s refreshing taste and like an energizing drink.

If I’m right this is not a teapot but actually an old Mr. Coffee pot from the 60s-70s.

bojana says:
Sep 16, 2012

Does fresh ginger need to be used or can I use powdered ginger? Thanks!
bojana says:
Sep 27, 2012
i think you can use powdered ginger. i suppose the taste won’t be as strong as with fresh ginger.

[...] My Results: The Ervins are sweet tea drinkers. I’ve watched how they make it but don’t have a set recipe so my results come out different every time. I followed the instructions exactly except I put in about 7 regular size Lipton tea bags. This was the best sweet tea I have ever made…it was pretty much perfect. This will be my go-to recipe from now on. source [...]

Blondie says:
Oct 15, 2012
I use hot half boiling water and half cold…that way you can add a few green tea bags in the mix.

You might want to use filtered water or spring water without chlorine & flourine if you want to detox.

tina says:

what could I just instead of mint leaves, can’t find the mint leaves.
sitnoseckano says:
Nov 11, 2012
Tina, you can try to use basil, or just make it without mint leaves. The taste will be slightly different, but refreshing

I checked out the sassy water link and it states to drink the whole pitcher by the end of the day ,its approximately 8 1/2 cups . It also says to add a teaspoon of ginger witch i didn’t see on the receipt.

Samantha says:

When you are done drinking the water, can you fill it back up and start all over do you need to make a whole new batch with fresh ingredients?
Kenneth says:
Jan 15, 2013

monica sheldon says:

can you use dried mint leaves instead of the fresh?? I can get the fresh leaves in summer time from my mother in law as she planted mint leaves. wintetime, easy to use dried.
bojana says:
Mar 5, 2013
sure, monica, try it with dried mint leaves.
Selena says:

I am on my third pitcher, I have the whole 2 liters a day but it makes me pee a lot thru the day. I have to finish way before bed otherwise it has me up all night, is this a side effect for anyone else? I use one lemon, one cucumber, mint leaves and grated ginger chilled overnight.
Marisa says:

Sounds great, but here are my thoughts:
1. Dried mint leaves and powdered ginger won’t work as well, because the cold water doesn’t allow the flavor to be released as much as with fresh ingredients.
2. The powdered ginger won’t dissolve well in cold water.
3. By using lemon juice, you lose the added benefits of limonene, which is a good chemical found in the lemon peel. It helps dissolve gallstones, among other digestive wonders.
