Ingredients (Serves 4)
1 large cucumber
10-12 fresh mint leaves
1 liter cold water
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Ice cubes (as needed)
Lemon slices (optional, for extra zing)
Instructions
Prepare the Cucumber: Secure the cheese grater hand crank to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 3-blade set and use the food pusher to safely slice the cucumber into thin, uniform rounds. The sharp stainless steel blades ensure smooth, even cuts, perfect for infusing the water. Set the slices aside.
Infuse the Water: In a large pitcher, combine the cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves. Add the cold water and stir gently to release the flavors. If desired, mix in honey or agave syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Chill and Serve: Add ice cubes and lemon slices if using, then refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Serve cold in glasses, ensuring a few cucumber slices and mint leaves in each.
Tips and Variations
Herb Twist: Add a few basil leaves for a different flavor profile.
Sparkle It Up: Replace half the water with sparkling water for a fizzy version.
Citrus Boost: Include orange slices alongside lemon for added zest.
Serving Idea: Pair with a light snack like cheese and crackers.
