Description

In a short while, you can have a cool, healthy, hydrating drink using just a few ingredients. Sip it poolside, at outdoor sports games, or anywhere.

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium cucumber, English or standard
• 8 c. cold water
• lemon or lime slices, for serving
• fresh mint

Steps

1. Wash and thinly slice the cucumber and the lemon.
2. Add the cucumber and lemon slices to a pitcher. Use a wooden spoon or muddler to lightly muddle/mash the cucumbers several times to release their juices.
3. Add the cold water. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, although it is best after 2-3 hours. Add the fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
