Wash and slice one medium cucumber (keep the skin on for extra nutrients).
Peel and grate or thinly slice a 2–3 cm piece of fresh ginger root.
Juice 1–2 fresh lemons (about 2–3 tablespoons of juice).
Add a generous handful of fresh mint leaves.
Place everything in a large pitcher or jar and fill with 1–2 liters of cold filtered water.
Stir gently, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is even better for stronger flavor).
