Stop calling every infused water recipe “alkaline water.”
Cucumber, lemon, herbs, and veggies in water may make a great mineral infusion…
but that does NOT automatically make the water alkaline.
If you want real alkaline water, something alkaline has to be added.
DIY Alkaline Water:
32 oz spring water
¼ tsp baking soda
Cucumber
Mint
Lemon peel
Optional nettle infusion
Let sit 6–12 hours.
Herbs flavor it. Minerals nourish it.
But the alkaline component comes from the mineral additive.
Built with intention. Not gimmicks.
