Beat the heat with cucumber water

I literally have cucumbers coming out of my ears. Since I have grown tired of  tomato, cucumber, and mozzarella salad and despise pickles, I have had to get a bit more creative. My latest discovery has been putting slices of cucumber in my ice water. I found it to be quite wonderful but was concerned my California idea would not go over well in the South.

So, to test my idea, I served it to some skeptical house guests. To my surprise, and theirs, they enjoyed the "fresh" and "energizing" addition to tap water. This has been a welcome addition that fosters hydration in this intense summer heat. Try this tested and approved recipe at home!
