CopyCat Starbucks Cool Lime Refresher

Ingredients

3 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
¾ cup cucumber, peeled and chopped
¾ cup sugar or sweetener
Limes for garnish (optional)

Directions

Start by finely chopping the mint leaves and cucumber. Doing this will allow the juices and flavor to extract into the water better.

Next fill a pitcher with water and add the mint leaves and cucumber to it. You want to allow these to sit in the water for at least 15 minutes to infuse. I personally like to let mine infuse overnight.

Take a slotted spoon and remove the cucumbers and mint leaves from the water. It’s even easier if you have a special pitcher with a built in infuser.

Now add your lime juice and sugar and stir until well incorporated.

Pour into a glass filled with ice and garnish with some mint leaves and limes. Enjoy!
