Description
Learn how to make refreshing lemon mint and cucumber water with just a few fresh ingredients. It’s a simple way to add flavor to plain water, and it only takes a few minutes to prep a big pitcher.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (1.42 liters) water
- ½ cucumber, sliced thinly
- 1 medium lemon, sliced thinly
- 12 medium fresh mint leaves (I use spearmint)
Instructions
- Wash the produce first. Then thinly slice ½ of a cucumber and a lemon.
- Add the slices along with the mint to a large pitcher. I skip the lemon end slices that have no pulp and are just pith and peel.
- Then pour 6 cups of water into a large pitcher.
- Store in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill and let the flavors infuse into the water.
- Consume within 2 days.
Notes
If you use a stronger mint, like peppermint, start with less and adjust as needed.
If you use the original batch in under two days, top off the pitcher with more water to enjoy a second batch.
