Cucumber and lime water is a refreshing and hydrating drink that’s easy to make. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber
- 1 lime
- 1-2 sprigs of fresh mint (optional)
- 4 cups water
- Ice (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it into thin rounds. If you prefer, you can peel the cucumber first, but leaving the skin on adds a nice color and extra nutrients.
- Prepare the Lime: Wash the lime and cut it into thin wedges or slices.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the cucumber slices, lime wedges, and mint sprigs if using.
- Add Water: Pour the water over the cucumber, lime, and mint. Stir gently to mix.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1-2 hours to let the flavors infuse. You can also add ice if you like it chilled right away.
- Serve: Pour the water into glasses and enjoy!
This drink is not only tasty but also a great way to stay hydrated. Plus, the cucumber and lime provide a subtle flavor without added sugars.
