Sparkling Cucumber Mint Drink

Super refreshing on a hot day! A real treat.

Juice from 1 medium-large lemon or lime (add the zest too, if you wish, for extra flavor)

2 Tbsp. honey

1/4 c. mint leaves (tightly packed)- torn and bruised with your fingers to release essence

1/2 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced

16 oz. sparkling water

In a large pitcher or shaker, combine lemon or lime juice with honey, stirring until the honey is dissolved.

Add the mint leaves and cucumber; stir to coat with the citrus-honey juice. Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes, then stir in the sparkling water.

Pour over ice, straining out solids. Garnish with a mint leaf if desired.
