Servings: 8 cups
Equipment

- 1/2 cucumber
- 8 cups cold water
- lime slices optional
- fresh mint optional
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the cucumber and cut into thin slices.
- Place the cucumber slices into the bottom of a glass pitcher and press down gently. You're trying to release the juices and flavor, not completely mash them! Add cold water and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
