"Sassy" Water Recipe - You'll Love It!

I know I'm supposed to be thinking "fall" these days, but this refreshing water reminds me of spring and summer...however, it is PERFECT to serve any time of the year. I belong to two book clubs, and one of them regularly serves this water at our gatherings. It's just lovely...ok, can you tell that I'm really into it? It looks best when served in a clear pitcher or container, due to the sliced cucumber, lemon, and mint leaves which float among the ice cubes. (Hint: skip the adorable Pottery Barn glass jug with spout and go to Hobby Lobby...they have them there for under $40!)
Sassy Water!

3 1/2 pints of water

1 tsp. freshly grated ginger

1 medium cucumber, peeled & thinly sliced

1 medium lemon, thinly sliced

12 mint leaves
Honey - just add a little squeeze...unless you want the water to be even sweeter, of course

Combine above ingredients & let sit & chill overnight......the ginger gives it a nice jolt.  Easy & refreshing!
