Tips:
- Select ripe and flavorful cucumbers and citrus fruits: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your iced water. Choose ripe cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color. For the citrus fruits, opt for oranges and lemons that are heavy for their size and have a vibrant color.
- Use filtered or spring water: Tap water can sometimes have a chlorine taste that can overwhelm the delicate flavors of the cucumber and citrus fruits. If possible, use filtered or spring water for the best results.
- Slice the cucumbers and citrus fruits thinly: This will help them release their flavors more easily into the water.
- Let the water chill for at least 2 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the water over ice: This will keep it cold and refreshing.
- Add additional flavors, if desired: You can add other flavors to your iced water, such as mint, basil, or ginger. Just be sure to taste the water before serving to make sure that the flavors are balanced.
