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.
