Okay, so it’s not food per se, but it’s on the top of my list of refreshing treats lately, so I thought I’d share my most recent obsession with you: cucumber-lemon-mint water! It’s a mouthful, I know (no pun intented). But seriously, this stuff is a constant in my fridge these days and I think it’s only going to get better when summer rolls around. It’s so refreshing I just want to give it to everyone! And I won’t lie, it feels kind of glamorous to drink. It’s like accessorizing your beverage. But I digress.
It’s beyond simple, so here’s what you’ll need:
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/2 lemon
- handful of fresh mint
- pitcher
- water
Slice the cucumber and quarter the lemon. Remove long stems from the mint. Toss all of it into the pitcher; I like to give the lemon a squeeze and roll the mint in my hands a bit before tossing them in so the flavors are really happenin’. Fill the pitcher with water and refrigerate.
Pour yourself a long, tall glass and enjoy! xoxo
Looks so good! Perfectly refreshing, and I was always told that a bit of lemon helps your body absorb water better. Such a great idea!
HA! I’m been drinking this all week – no kidding, before I saw this post. Isn’t it the best? Try orange and basil next. Also good: pineapple and cilantro.
Oooh! Pineapple cilantro? Done and done.
This must be such a refreshing drink for a hot day! =)
I love this idea! I can’t wait to try it as the summer approaches!!! Thanks Chelsea!
Your fingers and toes are so cheery! (It’s still too cold in the Midwest to expose our toes!) What color did you use?
I <3 the nail color too – what is it?
Oh this looks so good! Sometimes i find that it can be challenging to drink plain ole water, I think jazzing it up this way makes it way easier š
Nice! Love that pitcher, too, it looks great in that!
Yum! I love flavored water, it makes me feel like I’m at a fancy-schmancy spa. Thanks for reminding me I can make this at home, too!
thank you sooooo much for this!! i make a big jar and take it to work everyday…its helping me get in ALL of my water for the day š and it just feels so fancy!!
can you refill with water a couple of times before replacing ingredients?
