How to add some zing into your water

Two Infused water recipes for when plain H20 doesn't cut it.

Water makes up 60% of our bodies, so it is safe to say it has a huge effect on how we feel each day!!  

Cucumber Mint Infused Water with Lemon

Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Delicately flavoured Cucumber Mint Infused Water with Lime is a refreshing drink to keep you cool and hydrated all summer long!

Ingredients

  • 1 small cucumber (or half of a medium cucumber), scrubbed & sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint, washed & bruised
  • 1/2 lime, scrubbed & sliced (optional)
  • 10 to 12 cups cool filtered water

Instructions

Place sliced cucumber, mint sprigs, and lime slices (if using) in a large pitcher. Pour water into the pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere from 1 to 8 hours (the longer you infuse the water, the stronger the flavour will become). Strain the water into a glass and serve chilled with a slice of cucumber for garnish, if desired.

Notes

When making infused water, I prefer to use well-washed, organic ingredients, so as to avoid any potential pesticides infusing into my water.
If your pitcher of water is going to last more than a day, I recommend removing the lime slices after 6 to 8 hours to prevent the water from turning bitter.
In order to enjoy Cucumber Mint Infused Water without the wait, put a few slices of cucumber, a few mint leaves, a thin slice of lime, and a few ice cubes in a bottle or jar. Fill the bottle/jar with water, seal, shake, and enjoy immediately.
