Infused Water

Drinking water is essential to good health, but sometimes you just want something refreshing with wholesome flavor. I’ve created this infused water using filtered water from our refrigerator, fresh sweet mint from our herb patch, and a locally grown cucumber. This is a flavorful, thrifty and healthy way to hydrate.

Fill a pitcher with water. I’m fortunate to have a refrigerator that dispenses filtered water, but tap water works too.

Slice your cucumber thinly. I used a nakiri knife, a Japanese-style vegetable knife that makes it easy to get those thin slices. Plus, it’s a pretty darn cute knife!

Every slice of cucumber into the pool!

Grab a handful of mint, and add it to the pitcher. Give it a little stir. I used my knife because I didn’t want to wash a spoon!

Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Grab a glass of this refreshing infused water, and enjoy!
