There’s nothing like a tall glass of infused water to make you feel refreshed, fancy, and a little more sophisticated. This is especially true since the heat index has reached 116° this past week. 🥵
Today’s simple recipe is one of my go-to summer staples: Cucumber Mint Water. It’s simple, quick, and just the thing to help you hydrate without any added sugar or artificial flavors. Plus, it looks beautiful in a pitcher or glass (yes, aesthetics matter when you’re sipping like a queen 👑).
Whether you’re relaxing with a book, you should try this recipe. If Beale Street Could Talk and Julie and Romeo are my current reads 📚. It is also perfect if you are recovering from a day in the sun.
