Low FODMAP Cucumber Sparkling Water
Staying hydrated while managing digestive sensitivities doesn't have to mean plain, boring water. This refreshing drink leans on crisp English cucumber and a gentle hint of mint to turn everyday sparkling water into something genuinely special. English cucumber is a great low FODMAP choice, and plain sparkling water is naturally free of the sugars and additives that can sneak into flavored store-bought drinks. The trick of pressing the mint leaves just once — rather than muddling them — keeps the flavor bright and subtle without overwhelming the delicate cucumber infusion. After a short rest in the fridge, the water takes on a clean, cool flavor that feels almost spa-like. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive in a pitcher at a dinner party but takes almost no effort to pull together.
