Instructions
- Gather and prepare your ingredients by washing the lemons, cucumbers, mint, and any optional ginger or berries under cold running water.
- Slice the lemon and cucumber quite thinly into rounds to maximize surface area for infusion. If using ginger, slice about 3-4 rounds without peeling.
- Gently bruise the mint leaves by clapping them in your hands or lightly crushing them with a spoon to release their aromatic oils.
- Combine all prepared ingredients in a large glass pitcher, arranging them nicely for visual appeal.
- Fill the pitcher to the brim with cold, filtered water, ensuring all fruit and herb slices are submerged.
- Chill the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
