Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of a lemon, each about 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 slices of an orange, each about 1/4-inch thick, cut in half
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced, about 1/4-inch thick (approximately 12 slices)
  • 1 quart filtered water

Instructions

  1. Rinse all produce well under cool, running water before slicing.
  2. Place lemon, orange and cucumber slices in bottom of a 1-quart mason jar or pitcher.
  3. Fill jar or pitcher with filtered water.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  5. If you’d like, strain before serving.  Enjoy within 2 days.

 

Notes

I cut the orange slices in half to increase the flavor-generating surface area and so they’ll fit better in the jar.  It’s been my experience that more than 2 lemon slices makes the final product somewhat bitter.
