This cucumber lemon water is crisp, refreshing, and actually tastes good thanks to the perfect infusion time. Let it chill overnight for the best flavor, then sip on it all day for an easy, hydrating upgrade to plain water.

INGREDIENTS

8 cups (2 quarts) water
1 medium cucumber thinly sliced
1 large lemon thinly sliced
2-3 sprigs fresh mint optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice the cucumber and lemon: wash and dry the cucumber and lemon. Thinly slice them and add them to a pitcher.
Add water and chill: Fill the pitcher with water and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours (I found 12 hours to be best). Making and serving right away works too, but it won't have as much time to infuse.
Serve: pour the cucumber and lemon water over a glass of crushed ice. Garnish with some of the lemon and cucumber slices from the pitcher or add fresh to the top.
