Method
- Wash the cucumber and lemon well (the skin stays on) and slice them thinly. Lightly bruise the mint leaves between your hands.
- Put everything in a jug and fill with 1.5 litres of cold water.
- Chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Remove the lemon after 4 hours so the water does not turn bitter; the cucumber and mint can stay until the end of the day.
Shopping tip
Thin-skinned (Dutch) cucumber does not need peeling. In summer, add a few sliced strawberries or orange rounds too.
