- cucumber - lemon - lime - water

Slice the cucumber about 1/8" thick.

Add the cucumber, lemon, and lime slices, and the water to a large pitcher, stirring gently.

Let sit at least 10 minutes, or up to 2-3 days. The flavor will become stronger the longer the water sits, and after a while the citrus flavor will become too strong and bitter.
