Capsaicin Free Cucumber-Mint Water
Cool, crisp, and endlessly refreshing, this infused water is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're at a spa without leaving your kitchen. Thin cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves steep right in the pitcher, slowly releasing their gentle, clean flavors into every glass. For anyone avoiding capsaicin, finding a truly soothing beverage can be trickier than it sounds — so many flavored waters and herbal blends sneak in spicy botanicals or "warming" ingredients. This one keeps things beautifully simple with just two fresh ingredients and cold water, so there's nothing hidden and nothing to second-guess. The longer you let it steep, the more fragrant and flavorful it becomes, making it easy to customize to your taste. It's the perfect thing to keep in the fridge on a warm day, and the pitcher looks gorgeous on the table too.
