Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a pitcher, add cucumber, lime, lemon and mint.

  2. Step 2

    Add water and refrigerate for one hour to allow flavours to blend.

  3. Step 3

    Serve cold garnished with a cucumber slice and a sprig of mint.

Tips

  • Remove citrus, mint and cucumber after a few hours of refrigeration to prevent water from becoming too bitter.

  • For a carbonated beverage, add lemon or lime sparkling water instead of still water.

  • Experiment with different combinations of fruit and herbs. Try strawberry-lemon basil, watermelon-lime-mint or blueberry-lemon-rosemary.
