erufiku Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Here's a little drink I learned about recently. If you're like me and smoking shisha makes you tired/light-headed, then this will do the trick: you'll need a cucumber and a lemon or lime. Cut a few thin slices of each and drop it into a glass along with a few ice cubes, fill 'er up with water and enjoy your session. When you're finished your first glass, just refill with water (no need for fresh slices). Also, you can make a whole pitcher of this stuff, just use more slices of cucumber and lemon.I don't really know how it works but this drink helps me keep a clear head while smoking shisha. It's also awesome when you aren't smoking and just feel a bit tired. Hope it works for you If you got other tips please post back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayson Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Most sushi restaurants put cucumber slices in the pitcher of water. That's why the water always has a slightly distinct taste. Not sure why they do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they do this.Helps to cleans the palate... vs. any other kind of restaurant (Italian/American/bar & grill etc.) that puts lemons in their waters. Different tastes from the food... cucumber is more suitable to cleans your palate after you've been eating sushi/seafood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yup, can definitely confirm the palate-cleaning effect. Ever since I started drinking this with my shisha, each drag is full of flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Interesting.I don't get light headed, but a couple of my friends that smoke with me do. I will tell them to try this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboi Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Def sounds interesting . I may have to give this a try one time and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrysalem Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The ice part is important. For me, that's the most important part, cooling the smoke, makes a big difference. Will try the lemon slices that's a good idea.I picked up concentrated fruit juice in a bottle today, the one that looks and pours like syrup. Anyone tried that, will try it tomorrow.

erufiku Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 jerrysalem... I actually meant a side drink whilst smoking hookah, not stuffing lemon and cucumber slices in the base. But now that you mention it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel510 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hmm, I often get light headed while smoking too. I'll definitely have to try this out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaia.plateau Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I don't find this to mitigate fatigue or light-headedness.... but it does work well for clearing the palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathuv Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 well i was a bit skeptical at first, but im drinking this now and its really good has a nice taste to it. i cut a cucumber slice, medium thickness into 4 pieces and put 2 in a glass then i cut 2 slices of lemon, roughly the same size as the cucumber and filled the glass. has a really nice taste, im gonna have to try this with hookah one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
