Lemon, Ginger, Mint Water: My Favorite Spa-in-a-Bottle Secret (Straight from My Garden)

Can I tell you about my ride-or-die morning ritual?

It’s not fancy. It’s not complicated. But it is hydrating, delicious, and gives me major “glowing goddess meets garden fairy” vibes.

Every single day—rain or shine, busy or blissful—I fill up my 40oz Hydroflask with my very own homemade vitamin water. I’m talking lemon, ginger, and mint water. Simple. Nourishing. Spa-worthy. And totally my vibe.

Here’s how I do it (and why you might want to, too).

🌿 The Recipe:

Lisa’s Daily Lemon Ginger Mint Water

  • 1/4 lemon (squeeze it in and toss in the whole wedge)

  • A 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced lengthwise

  • A couple fresh mint sprigs (I snip mine right from my garden!)

  • Optional: a few slices of cucumber for full “spa water” vibes

  • Ice

  • Filtered water to fill your bottle (I use a 40oz Hydroflask and refill it throughout the day)

💡 Pro tip: I bring it to bed with me too. This sits on my nightstand and is the first thing I reach for in the morning before my feet even hit the floor. Hydration first. Always.

💧 What’s So Great About It?

Let me break it down like the wellness nerd I am (and proudly so):

🍋 Lemon

  • High in vitamin C to support your immune system

  • Boosts collagen production for skin health

  • Aids in digestion and helps alkalize the body

  • Natural detoxifier (hello, liver support!)

🌱 Mint

  • Soothes digestive discomfort and reduces bloating

  • Natural energizer—great for that midday slump

  • Refreshes your breath and cools you down (yes, even energetically!)

🫚 Ginger

  • One of nature’s best anti-inflammatories

  • Helps with nausea, digestion, and circulation

  • Supports the immune system and has natural antibacterial properties

  • Slightly spicy kick that makes this water anything but boring

🥒 Optional: Cucumber

  • Extra hydration and a dose of silica for glowing skin

  • High in antioxidants and cooling for the body

  • You’ll feel like you’re at a spa—even if you’re just sitting at your desk or folding laundry

💬 Real Talk

This little ritual isn’t about being perfect or trendy. It’s about giving your body something that feels good. Something that nourishes. Something that’s yours.

And let’s be honest: sipping lemon, ginger, and mint water just feels fancier than chugging plain water. Even if you’re in sweats with a messy bun and a mile-long to-do list (same, girl, same).

✨ Final Thoughts

Whether you’re looking to support your digestion, amp up your hydration, or just want a delicious way to get in more water—this is your sign to try it.

It’s the small, intentional rituals that make the biggest difference.

And if you’re ready to go beyond the spa water and finally feel amazing from the inside out? I’d love to guide you.
