MSG Free Cucumber-Mint Water

There is something quietly refreshing about a pitcher of infused water sitting in the fridge, ready to pour whenever you need it. Crisp cucumber and cool mint steep together in cold water, producing a drink that feels spa-like without any effort or expense. For anyone avoiding flavor enhancers and additives, this is about as clean as a beverage can get — just two fresh ingredients and water, full stop. Store-bought flavored waters and drink mixes can be surprisingly tricky territory, often hiding glutamates or "natural flavors" that are hard to verify, so making your own is a genuinely smart move. The longer you let it steep, the more fragrant and flavorful the water becomes, so you can dial it to exactly the intensity you like. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep on rotation all week.
