6a00d8358081ff69e20168e8b6617e970c-800wicucumber-coolers-so-easy-and-delicious

4 cups water (or however much fills desired pitcher)

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

3 limes

4 tsp agave syrup (or any sugar syrup)

Ice (as much as desired)

Sprig of cilantro

Sprig of mint (optional)

Directions

Add 1 thinly sliced cucumber, a large sprig of mint and a sprig of cilantro to a large pitcher of water. Allow the flavors to infuse for at least an hour. This will become the base for the drink.

Heat 3 limes, sliced in half, in the microwave for 30 seconds. Squeeze the juice from the limes into a cocktail shaker. Add 4 teaspoons agave syrup or a sugar syrup to the lime juice, ice cubes and 1 cup of the cucumber infused water. Shake vigorously and pour into glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Bonus tip: Freeze the cucumber-infused water in an ice cube tray and use this ice in place of regular ice when making the drink.
