Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber sliced (reserve some slices for garnishes)
  • 1 lime sliced, divided
  • ¼ cup fresh mint plus more for garnish
  • 8 cups water

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or pitcher, add the cucumber, half the lime slices and fresh mint. Use a muddler, wooden spoon or fork to gently mash the produce together.
  • Top with water. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Strain out the solids and transfer the liquid to a pitcher.
  • Serve in glasses over ice with slices of cucumber and lime. Garnish with fresh mint.

Notes

For stronger flavor, allow your water to infuse for a longer period of time.
Water can be stored for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but will taste freshest during the first couple of days.
