25 Detox Water Recipes

I hope your cough gets better. These waters look delish! I laughed at your daughter’s comment. I tell my kids to quit coughing all the time (or my fiancé… or my brothers). Coughing annoys me. Sometimes when I cough a lot, I find the urge to say out loud that I’m annoying myself.

I’ve been dealing with coughing since I caught a cold back in November. Not the full-fledged cold coughing, but more like irritated throat coughing. I recently discovered I don’t like plain water anymore. So I’ve gone the lemon route. Not bad, but boring after the first week. Plain cucumber is yummy, and I’m sure it’ll be nice and refreshing in the heat of summer. My next concoction is going to be cucumber, lemon, and mint.

LOVING these combos! I’m a natural water drinker already and usually too much of a lazy bones to add fancy things but you’re inspiring me to turn over a new leaf and muddle some delish into my agua! Hope you feel better asap =)

I LOVE your posts! You make me laugh every time. 🙂

I saw a remedy online for coughing. I’ve never tried it but it sounds like you may be ready to try anything. The juice from a fresh pineapple is suppose to contain one of the same main ingredients as cough syrup but more of it. Let me know if it works if you happen to try it, I might need it one day also.

Give me a glass with muddled raspberry & orange any way I can get it! I’ve even resorted to “smoothly like consistency” using fruit, ice, water & a magic bullet (still going strong after 19 years!)

That cough can be a “hanger on”. I’ve been mixing a tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of cinnamon & sucking that spoon 1x a day. I think it’s cut the severity/length of my cough down by 2/3! I’m almost done now.

You mentioned coughing. I hear you. Maybe this article I have will help??
