Instructions

Wash the limes and mint thoroughly under cold running water
Slice the limes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8th of an inch thick
Bruise the mint by clapping your hands together with the mint in the middle
Place the lime slices and bruised mint at the bottom of a large glass pitcher. Add ginger if using
Fill the pitcher halfway with ice to keep the botanicals submerged
Pour the filtered water over the ice and botanicals. Stir gently for about 30 seconds
Refrigerate the pitcher for at least two hours, preferably four to six for best flavor
Pour into individual glasses, discarding the botanicals after 24 hours

Notes

Use charcoal-filtered or spring water to avoid chlorine flavors.

Organic limes are preferred since the zest will steep long.

For variations, consider using lemons, basil, or cucumbers.
