One of our dear friends recently became obsessed with fruit waters and now I am too.
So this is how to make cucumber water.
This recipe isn’t for cucumber-infused water.
That is very refreshing and nice but this is a bit different.
This is considered aqua Fresca.
This is essentially us juicing the cucumber and adding water to that juice.

What Is Aqua Fresca?
First, Aqua Fresca is Spanish for fresh water.
