Refreshing Lemon & Cucumber Water image

I was at a luncheon the other day and my friend Marisue had this wonderful water for us to drink! She said she first found out about this cool drink at a day spa. The pitcher of water looks beautiful with the lemon and cucumber and the taste is divine! It's so easy and it really does add refreshing elements to your water!

HERBAL LEMON-CUCUMBER WATER



Herbal Lemon-Cucumber Water image

Drink this in place of plain old water--it's so simple, delicious, healthy and refreshing! I've added fresh lemon verbena along with the cucumber and lemon, as it's so plentiful in my garden right now. But any of the sweet herbs such as lemon balm, mint, or scented geranium leaves (try rose!) would also be wonderful. Or try rosemary, basil, lemon thyme or whatever herb or combination you fancy! I keep a jug of this refreshing beverage in the fridge all summer long. Each batch lasts a day or two--just keep in the fridge, and top off with more bottled water to replenish what you drink. After a couple of days you'll need to make a fresh batch. Enjoy! Recipe is easily doubled or tripled, for events etc.
