This is wonderfully refreshing and thirst-quenching homemade flavored water. Ideal and healthy alternative to bought soda drinks.

Ingredients

½ small cucumber, sliced thin
½ nectarine, pitted and chopped
½ lemon, sliced
½ lemon, juiced
½ lime, sliced
½ lime, juiced
4 slices ginger root, peeled, or more to taste
10 melissa leaves (lemon balm), or more to taste
2 quarts water
1 drop liquid stevia, or to taste

Directions

Place cucumber, nectarine, lemon slices, lemon juice, lime slices, lime juice, ginger, and melissa leaves in a large pitcher; mash gently with a wooden spoon. Pour in water, stir, and refrigerate until flavors blend, 2 hours to overnight. Strain; serve over ice.

Cook's Notes:

I prefer to use organic lemons and limes.

Melissa leaves can be substituted with fresh mint leaves; lime substituted with slices and juice of a red grapefruit; and nectarine substituted with peach, if desired.

If you like your water fizzy, add some sparkling mineral water as well.

Pitcher can be refilled with water 1 to 2 more times before it loses flavor. Keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
