Herb Infused Water Recipe #106435
This is a wonderful combination of fresh herbs and cucumber slices "marinated" in water, and makes a beautiful presentation in a clear glass pitcher or wine carafe. It's a perfect way to dress up water for a holiday table or a bridal shower. I am fortunate enough to have great tasting tap water, and sometimes will just use that. I have also found that the herb/lemon mixture will last through a couple of water changes before the lemons start to get soggy. I found this recipe in Sunset magazine several years ago.
