Ingredients:
3 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
¾ cup cucumber, peeled and chopped
¾ cup sugar or sweetener
Limes for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Start by finely chopping the mint leaves and cucumber. Doing this will allow the juices and flavor to extract into the water better.
Next fill a pitcher with water and add the mint leaves and cucumber to it. You want to allow these to sit in the water for at least 15 minutes to infuse. I personally like to let mine infuse overnight.
Take a slotted spoon and remove the cucumbers and mint leaves from the water. It’s even easier if you have a special pitcher with a built in infuser.
Now add your lime juice and sugar and stir until well incorporated.
Interesting, but I don't think this is my thing. You know I am fussy, so I only like drinks with one thing in it. I enjoyed reading the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI had this recipes in my saved folder and wanted to finally make it. It was good and a great way to use the limes from my tree!
DeleteWere those limes as big as the lemons you had??
DeleteI wish! No they were very small
DeleteI LOVE lime-flavored drinks- I'll give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by KT
DeleteLet me know if you try it.
