Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

1 lemon, thinly sliced

1 lime, thinly sliced

10-12 fresh mint leaves

8 cups of filtered water

Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing the cucumber, lemon, and lime under cool running water to remove any dirt. Slice the cucumber, lemon, and lime into thin, even rounds. Thin slices will maximize flavor extraction into the water.

    Combine Ingredients: In a spacious pitcher, layer the sliced cucumber, lemon, lime, and add the fresh mint leaves. The mint will infuse a refreshing herbal note that beautifully complements the crispness of the cucumber and the tang of the citrus.

      Add Water: Gently pour 8 cups of chilled, filtered water over the sliced ingredients and mint in the pitcher. Make sure all ingredients are submerged; this is crucial for effective flavor infusion.

        Chill: Cover the pitcher with a fitted lid or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. This time allows the flavors to fully meld together, resulting in a refreshing detox beverage.

          Serve: When you're ready to serve, give the infused water a gentle stir to mix the flavors. Pour the cucumber water into individual glasses, optionally adding ice cubes for an extra cool touch. For added visual appeal, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of cucumber or lemon.

            Enjoy: Relish this hydrating and detoxifying cucumber water throughout the day. It’s a fantastic drink for gatherings, lazy afternoons, or any occasion where you want to enjoy a revitalizing beverage!
