Refreshing cucumber and mint water

As well as plenty of courgettes, we have a lot of cucumbers. We eat about one cucumber a month normally, if that! Unfortunately the lettuce didn't go very well, there is enough for the odd salad but that doesn't use many cucumbers. This is a nice refreshing drink for the sunny weather we have at the moment and uses a whole cucumber!

Use a peeler to slice a cucumber in to very thin slices.
Put the slices in a jug with some mint and fill with water. Leave in the fridge for a few hours.


As Doug says - add some strawberries and pimms and lemonade instead of water and it would be even nicer, but it is refreshing and a change from plain water.
