Tips for Making this Water Beverage-Sip
- Use fresh purified water for best flavor, or purified water bottles.
- Unblemished strawberries, hulled and stemmed. Be sure to wash the berries before adding to the water.
- Select English cucumber with no blemishes or soft spots. These cucumbers are the ones wrapped in plastic wrap or shrink wrap. Check the cuke so it is not soft or spongy to touch. Remove plastic wrap and wash throughly, peel with vegetable peeler and slice thinly.
- If you have time, create flavored frozen ice cubes. If you would like, you can fill the trays with fresh orange juice or lemonade, add a few berries and lemon slices, freeze until firm. Pop out and place in pitcher.
- Make the water the night before serving for robust flavors. Although add strawberries an hour before serving.
- Use a glass pitcher so everyone can see the beautiful citrus, cucumbers and berries.
