Making cucumber water is pretty simple: 1  Slice a cleaned, peeled (or unpeeled depending on your preference) cucumber into 1/2 inch slices. 2  Combine cucumber slices in water, and type with ice. Allow to marinate for at least an hour.
Slice the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice thinly. Thinly slice the onion. In a colander, toss the cucumber and onion with the salt and let it sit and drain for 20 minutes. Press the liquid out of the vegetables and rinse well with cold water.
