Equipment

  • Pitcher or large glass jar
  • Wooden spoon or muddler
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Serving glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cucumber sliced
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 10-12 fresh mint leaves
  • 1- inch piece of fresh ginger thinly sliced
  • 4 cups of water filtered or spring water works best
  • Ice cubes optional
  • Honey or agave syrup optional, for added sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Begin by washing all your fruits and herbs thoroughly.
  • Slice the cucumber and lemon into thin rounds. Be sure to remove any seeds from the lemon slices.
  • Gently bruise the mint leaves by lightly pressing them with a wooden spoon or muddler. This releases their aromatic oils.
  • Peel and thinly slice the ginger. If you prefer a milder ginger flavor, you can scrape off the skin before slicing.
  • In a pitcher or large glass jar, combine the cucumber slices, lemon slices, mint leaves, and ginger slices.
  • Pour the 4 cups of water over the ingredients in the pitcher.
  • If you like your drink chilled immediately, you can add ice cubes to the pitcher. Otherwise, refrigerate it for 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
  • If desired, you can sweeten the infusion with honey or agave syrup. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to your taste preference.
  • Serve the Lemon Cucumber Mint Ginger Water in glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish with a fresh mint sprig or a cucumber slice for an extra touch of elegance.
