Wash the cucumber and lemon thoroughly. Slice the cucumber and lemon into thin rounds.
Grate the ginger and set it aside.
Lightly bruise the mint leaves to release their flavor.
Infuse the Water:
In a large pitcher or jug, add the cucumber, lemon, grated ginger, and mint leaves to the water.
Optionally, add a teaspoon or two of honey for sweetness, but this is optional as the natural flavors should already be refreshing.
Let it Infuse:
Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours to let the flavors infuse. For best results, prepare it the night before so the water has time to absorb all the flavors.
