Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Lemon
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 8 cups Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the cucumber, lemon, and mint leaves thoroughly under cool running water.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. There’s no need to peel, unless desired.
Cut the lemon into thin slices, removing any seeds.
Lightly bruise the mint leaves by clapping them between your hands. This releases their essential oils.
In a large pitcher, add the cucumber slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
Pour the cold water into the pitcher, covering the ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher for added chill, if desired.
Let the cucumber water infuse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
Stir before serving. Pour into glasses and enjoy!
