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.
