1 tbsp fresh lime juice
4 cups cold sparkling water
1 tsp per serving (optional) honey

Instructions

Step 1: In a pitcher, combine 1 large peeled and thinly sliced cucumber, 10 fresh mint leaves, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Muddle gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release flavors without crushing the mint.
Step 2: Add 4 cups cold sparkling water and stir gently to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to infuse.
Step 3: Before serving, strain the infused water into a glass over ice, discarding solids. For a touch of sweetness, add 1 tsp honey per serving and stir.
