Refresh Your Water

By RL Policar

Here’s something that I learned from Priscilla. Anytime she goes to some sort of day spa, they serve water with cucumber. I didn’t think anything of it until she made some for the kids and I at home. The cucumber reacts with the water and gives it this magical flavor that is utterly refreshing! So I had this idea, why not add a few slices of it to my water bottle the next time I ride.

This actually works out pretty well if you’re using tap water instead of bottled. Why? Well most city water has a pretty harsh taste due to all the stuff they put into it. But the cucumber helps make it taste better. The flavor isn’t so powerful where that’s all you taste when chugging, but its a slight hint that makes it go down easier.

    “So if you’re daring, give cucumbers a chance”

    Sorry, can’t help but find that ABSOLUTELY hillarious. Cucumber’s got to be one of *the* most gentle, subtle, and low-key flavors in the entire universe!

    🙂

    How much daring does it take to try a lil’ cucumber water?

    jk!

    Haha, it does sound funny now that I think about it. But people don’t like change especially adding a veggie to their water bottle.
