Infusing this for three to four days was a mistake as it turned out way too bitter to enjoy. We couldn't even drink it. I later found out that cutting off the lemon and lime rinds when infusing for that long would have made a difference. It was my first attempt at infusing water, and I wish I had known about this tip beforehand to avoid wasting all those ingredients.

I added a touch of sweetness.

The drink turned out quite well! I experimented with using a full box of mint leaves, along with 3 limes and 1 lemon instead of the usual 2 limes. Interestingly, the predominant flavor ended up being the cucumber.

This was way too bitter for my taste. We were unable to drink it at all.

I followed the recipe exactly and absolutely loved it. It tastes just like the water you would find at a spa - so refreshing! I've been making it regularly and plan to keep enjoying it throughout the summer.

Great recipe for a Recipe Group gathering. Personally, I found the mint a bit overpowering, but the combination of lemon, lime, and cucumbers was delightful. Appreciate the recipe!
