Lemon Mint Cucumber Water ♥
FROM THE ARCHIVES Drinks are rare here -- we need to fix that! My favorite is the cucumber lemonade served when Nupur of One Hot Stove and her husband visited for the first time while on a house-hunting trip. There are piles of cucumber recipes in the Recipe Box.

Sounds intriguing . . . . and what a WITTY post!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture...looks so refreshing :) And I still remember the unique taste of that cucumber lemonade!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting twist on flavoured water. Thanks for sharing Alanna.
ReplyDeleteI 'discovered' flavoured waters in one of the Edinburgh venues, the Villager, couple of years ago. Since then I've been trying several versions, and my long-time favourite is cucumber, lime and mint/basil. I think it's a colour thing:)
ReplyDeleteGreat and refreshing photo indeed!
I used to constantly drink water but seem to have got out of the habit recently. This ought to help! It sounds so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteAdanna ~ Hello to my witty sister!
ReplyDeleteNupur ~ Hmm, yes, must make some now!
Cynthia ~ Who knew water could be so interesting?! That said, I grew up in a house with its own well and wonderful water - the first thing I do when I get home is pour a big glass and down it.
Pille ~ Love the lime addition!
Wendy ~ It helps to mix things up a bit, yes? Hope this inspires you!
Try adding fresh ginger as well. Adds even more flavor and plenty of extra health benfits!
