Ingredients
1 large lemon, thinly sliced
1–2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
8 cups (2 liters) cold filtered water
Ice cubes, as desired
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for extra freshness)
Instructions
Wash the lemon thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds.
Peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices to release its flavor more effectively.
Add the lemon slices and ginger to a large pitcher.

Tips for the Best Infused Water
For a more intense ginger flavor, lightly crush the ginger slices before adding them to the water.
Refill the pitcher once or twice with water before replacing the lemon and ginger.
Use organic lemons when possible, since the peel adds extra flavor.
Add cucumber slices for an even more refreshing spa-inspired twist.
