Infused Waters

After living it up all year eating Paula Deen recipes, I've started trying to lose weight recently and know that I should be drinking lots of water.  When I was in really good shape I was drinking water with lime or lemon religiously or I'd buy that expensive bottled water all the time. Recently I've found a way to drink water without having to buy the $1.00 a bottle spring water and I wanted to share it here.


Lemon, Cucumber, Mint Infused Water

1 Gallon Jug or Pitcher
1 Large lemon, sliced
1/2 Large cucumber peeled and sliced thinly
5 or 6 mint leaves

Here's the hard part:  Put all of the ingredients into the jug/pitcher and fill with water.  Wait 1 hour and drink.
