Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • 1 to 2 liters filtered water

Instructions

  • Place the cucumber, lemon slices and mint in a pitcher. Scrunch the mint leaves slightly so they release their flavor.
  • Fill with ice and cold water and let infuse for 30 to 60 minutes. 
  • Keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Drink ice cold and refill the water when it gets low. 

Notes

  • The lemon rind will start to release a bitter flavor after a few hours. If you don’t like the bitterness from the rind you can remove the rind before placing the lemon slices in the water.
  • If you don’t remove the rind from the lemons, take them out of the water after a couple of hours to prevent the water from getting bitter.
