High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Cucumber Sparkling Water
Staying away from high fructose corn syrup doesn't mean giving up on something refreshing and a little special to sip. Most flavored sparkling waters and sodas at the store are loaded with sweeteners you'd rather avoid, but this pitcher drink keeps things completely clean with just four simple ingredients. Fresh English cucumber slices steep right in chilled sparkling water, releasing a cool, subtly sweet flavor that feels fancy without any added sugar at all. A few mint leaves pressed just enough to wake up their aroma take the whole thing to another level. It's the kind of drink that looks gorgeous on a table and tastes even better than it looks. Make a big batch ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge — the longer it sits, the more that delicate cucumber flavor comes through.
