Refreshing chocolate mint water with cucumber

There is nothing better than refreshing minty water on a hot summer's day.

It's also a great way to use the mint that is probably growing like crazy right now :)

I like Chocolate Mint, but you can use almost anything you are growing, it's all delicious!

Cut 5-10 sprigs of mint from your garden. 

You can also use basil, rosemary, and lemon balm.

Crush the mint. You can do this in your hands or

with a honey comb. Crushing the mint releases the flavours.

Peel and chop a quarter of a cucumber. 

I like to make cute little designs to add a little pizazz  ;)

In a jug add in the mint and cucumber.

(I got this cute mid century glass coffee pot in the antique mall 

in Fort Langley :)

and... voila... 

Delicious water infused with refreshing mint and cucumber. 

You can keep this in the fridge and continually add more water for 3 days. 

P.S. If you like lemon, only add 1 slice. 

The lemon can over power the minty freshness

and other flavours in the water.
