Lemon Mint Ice Cubes

by Amanda C. Hughes

I don’t know if I told you, but I’m the worst at meeting any kind of water quota for the day. There are times when I realize before bed that I haven’t even had a single cup of water all day. On keto, as with any diet, it’s important to drink a lot of water to keep your body flushed and your digestion on par. I find that adding these mojito-esque ice cubes to infusion pitchers or to glasses of water makes it easier for me to reach my hydration goals.
