Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 limes, thinly sliced
• 1-liter cold water
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by thoroughly washing the cucumber and limes. Slicing them thinly will allow the flavors to infuse more deeply.
2. In a large jug, combine the cucumber and lime slices. Pour in the cold water, filling the jug to the top.
3. Stir gently to help the flavors start to meld together, then let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes. For a more intense flavor, refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
4. Serve the infused water in tall glasses over ice cubes for a particularly refreshing drink.
5. Garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves if desired, adding a final touch of aroma and color to your creation.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you don’t have fresh limes, lemon slices make an excellent substitution and add a slightly different citrus tang.
• Consider adding a handful of fresh berries or slices of orange for a more colorful and fruity twist.
• For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate the prepared Cucumber Lime Infusion in an airtight container for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to develop, offering an even more delightful drink over time.

• Substitute cucumbers with thinly sliced zucchinis if you’re looking for a different but equally hydrating vegetable.
• If fresh mint isn’t available, a sprig of rosemary or basil can add a unique touch of flavor.

Pairings and Complements

• This infusion pairs beautifully with light snacks like hummus and pita, fresh vegetable platters, or cheese and fruit plates.
• For a sweet treat, serve alongside lemon cookies or a berry fruit salad for a harmonious balance of flavors.
