cucumber lemon water

i recently started drinking cucumber lemon water and now i can't get enough of it.  it's crisp, refreshing and easy to make.  i actually bring a little 'flask' of it to work with me.


i slice a medium lemon and a small cucumber and place in the bottom of a one-liter water carafe.  i then pour filtered water over the top and let steep in the refrigerator for at least an hour.  the longer it has to steep the better the flavor.  i refill the carafe two to three times a day with fresh water and on the third day replace the lemon and 
cucumber.


the size of lemon and cucumber you use will depend on the size of your pitcher and your taste.
