Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 medium fresh cucumber, sliced thin
- 8–15 fresh mint leaves
- 1 liter (4 cups) chilled water
- Plenty of ice
- Optional: squeeze of lemon or lime
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber into thin rings or half-moons and place them in a pitcher.
- Bruise the mint leaves by slapping them to release their oils, then add them to the pitcher.
- Fill the pitcher with cold water and add as much ice as desired.
- Gently stir the mixture.
- For enhanced flavor, refrigerate for about an hour before serving, or enjoy it immediately.
Notes
For a twist, add leftover berries or ginger. Using frozen cucumber slices as ice cubes is a clever idea to keep it cold.
