Macadamia Free Cucumber Sparkling Water
Cool, crisp, and endlessly refreshing, this infused sparkling water is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel a little more special. Thin slices of English cucumber steep right in the pitcher, giving the bubbly water a clean, subtly vegetal flavor that's light without being boring. A few fresh mint leaves pressed just enough to release their fragrance take the whole thing to another level. It's the sort of drink you'd pay too much for at a spa, but it comes together with almost zero effort in your own kitchen. Since it's built entirely from whole, simple ingredients, there's no label-reading required and no concern about hidden nuts sneaking in through flavored waters or pre-made infusions. Let it chill in the fridge for half an hour and you've got something genuinely elegant to pour over ice for guests or just for yourself on a warm day.
