Keep Cool Cucumber Water™

This is refreshing for a spa day or anytime.

I've used regular water, but you can use sparkling water or even club soda.

I also used a lime.

If you don't have a lime you can use a lemon instead.

1/2 cucumber sliced
Juice of 1/2 lime (optional)
Ice
1 quart water
1/4 tsp. sliced fresh ginger (optional)

Rinse and chop cucumber.

Set aside 4 cucumber slices for garnish.

Squeeze lime juice in pitcher,  place into fridge until ready to serve.

To serve:  In the bottom of 4 clean glasses place ice.
