Hydrating Cucumber Water
Ingredients:
- 8 cups of water
- 1 large cucumber, sliced
Directions:
Float the rounds of cucumber in the water from several hours to overnight in the refrigerator. Place a cucumber slice in each glass before serving. Add a fresh mint leaf or squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
Another quick fix is a cucumber tea sandwich. What could be more refreshing on a hot day than to spread a little cream cheese mixed with fresh chopped herbs on wheat bread and top with cucumber slices. Eat it open-faced or top it with another slice with spread, and cut into quarters. The crunch of the cucumber with the creaminess of the cheese and the texture of the bread has made this a classic around the world.
