In the hot days of summer, drinking lots of water is always a good idea! I made this particular pitcher of water with some fresh mint I’m growing in a large pot and some home-grown cucumbers a friend gave to me from their garden. You can always buy your fresh mint and cucumbers at your local grocery store, and buy organic if it’s available.
The cucumber and mint lightly flavor the water in a soothing, refreshing way. If you like naturally-flavored water, you’ll want to try this out! And if you don’t have mint, you can just make cucumber water—that has a nice flavor, too. Mint by itself is also good in water!
Cucumber-Mint Water
CUCUMBER-MINT WATER by NancyC
Makes 8 servings
8 cups water
1 medium cucumber, peeled or unpeeled and thinly sliced
6 to 8 large or 12 to 16 small fresh mint leaves
Put water in a gallon-size pitcher. Add sliced cucumbers and mint leaves and stir everything together.
Place in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to chill. When ready to serve, add some ice to the pitcher or pour over ice in your glassware.
The water usually keeps for several days if kept chilled in the refrigerator.

I think water tastes so much better when it’s flavored with natural ingredients. Do you like to flavor your water too?
