365 Paleo Recipe Project: DAY 33 - Cucumber-Lemon Water

I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was tauted as way to speed up weight loss, but I never believe that. I just thought it looked quite refreshing, I needed to mix up my water repetoire. I added and extra lemon to the original recipe. It's quite good, and tastes just like it sounds - like cucumber water with a splash of lemon.

Ingredients:

2 quarts of water

1 cucumber, peeled and sliced

2 lemons, sliced

10-12 mint leaves

Fill a large pitcher with 2 quarts of water and add cucumber, lemons and mint leaves. I suggest crushing the mint leaves or tearing them to release the oils. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to mingle. Serve chilled or over ice.
