Spa Water


A few years ago I was asked to speak at a conference in Palm Springs.  My hotel served a version of this water -- for free! -- in the lobby and out at the pool.  I had no clue what made it taste so fabulous.  Then our newspaper published a recipe for Spa Water that was in a local fundraising cookbook.

It couldn't be easier.  And it's a fantastic, refreshing summer drink!

Spa Water

1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 cucumber (I only use half)
pitcher of water

Slice the fruit and cucumber and put it in a pitcher filled with fresh water.  You can continuously refill the pitcher using the same fruit for up to a week.  If the fruit sits in the same water for more than a day, it can get a bit strong.  At that point I usually use it as a "concentrate" -- adjust the proportion of fresh water in your glass to your taste.
