Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a pitcher, combine 1 medium peeled and thinly sliced cucumber, 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp honey. Muddle gently for 1 minute until the mint releases its oils and the cucumber begins to soften.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 cups sparkling water and stir to dissolve the honey. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse slowly.
  3. Step 3: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass filled with 1 cup ice, discarding the solids, and serve immediately.
