Servings: 2
Equipment
- 1 Pitcher, Mason Jar or Infusion Pitcher
Ingredients
- 16 cups Cold water
- 1 Cucumber thinly sliced
- 4 Fresh Mint sprigs
- Ice
Instructions
- Prep the Base: Grab a 2-quart pitcher, a half-gallon mason jar, or your favorite infusion pitcher. Fill it with cold water.
- Infuse the Flavor: Add the cucumber slices and the mint sprigs directly into the water. If you want a punchier mint flavor, give the leaves a gentle slap between your palms before dropping them in to release the essential oils.
- Chill Out: Add enough ice to fill the rest of the pitcher. You can enjoy it immediately, but letting it sit in the fridge for about an hour really lets those flavors marry.
- Serve in Style: Pour into glasses. If you’re feeling extra, garnish each glass with a fresh cucumber slice and a small sprig of mint.
