Refreshing Cucumber Mint (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 6 leaves of fresh mint and a few extra sprigs to top things off.
02 - 3 small cucumbers.
03 - A liter of lemon-flavored sparkling water.
04 - 2 lemons or limes, your pick.
05 - Plenty of ice cubes.

# Instructions:

01 - Grab your mandoline or peeler and cut the cucumbers into ribbons or thin slices. Toss them into a pitcher.
02 - Drop in the mint leaves and lightly press them into the cucumbers to let out some flavor.
03 - Squeeze juice from one and a half lemons (or limes). Keep the other half aside for later.
04 - Pour in the sparkling lemon water and give it a good stir.
05 - Pour over a glass of ice and pop a few mint sprigs or lemon/lime slices on top if you want to make it fancy.

# Notes:

01 - This light and zesty drink hits the spot and works great with extra fruits or herbs for a personal twist.
