Ingredients

  • ½ small cucumber, sliced thin
  • ½ nectarine, pitted and chopped
  • ½ lemon, sliced
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ lime, sliced
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • 4 slices ginger root, peeled, or more to taste
  • 10 melissa leaves (lemon balm), or more to taste
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1 drop liquid stevia, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Place cucumber, nectarine, lemon slices, lemon juice, lime slices, lime juice, ginger, and melissa leaves in a large pitcher; mash gently with a wooden spoon. Pour in water, stir, and refrigerate until flavors blend, 2 hours to overnight. Strain; serve over ice.
I prefer to use organic lemons and limes; Melissa leaves can be substituted with fresh mint leaves; lime substituted with slices and juice of a red grapefruit; and nectarine substituted with peach, if desired; If you like your water fizzy, add some sparkling mineral water as well; Pitcher can be refilled with water 1 to 2 more times before it loses flavor. Keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
