Lime from my 40 year old tree. The tree is in a large pot. We move it in the garage when it gets cold.

 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.
