Super simple and refreshing! |
Ingredients:
2 lemons
1 cucumber
8 cups water
Optional Garnishes:
cucumber slices
lemon slices
Method:
Thinly slice the lemons and cucumber. Place them in a large pitcher or divide evenly between two carafes**. Add the water and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
Serve over ice and if desired, garnish with a cucumber and/or lemon slice. Enjoy within 48 hours after preparing ~ The flavor from the lemon peels can become bitter the longer the water steeps.
**I prefer a glass pitcher or carafe to a plastic server, for health reasons and taste. I found these Anchor Hocking carafes for $4.47 each at Walmart.
