Dolly diet recipes for the soon to be thin

Here is a good refresher for you to make ahead and drink when thirsty. This is really good in the summer when it is hot out, but is good all year and has detoxifying actions too. (But not Laxative, not at all)

2 qt water (Can be tap or filtered or bottled)
1 lemon, sliced
1 C cucumber slices
1 bunch fresh mint leaves ( should be available in the grocery store if you don't have them growing in your herb garden)

Put the water in a pitcher, add the lemon and cucumber slices. Slightly crush or tear the mint leaves to release the flavor

chill thoroughly

Strain and drink as you like

Thanks, audrey but I can't stand cucumber!

Leave out the cucumber and it is still good with the lemon and mint. Meyer lemons are available right now,. They are a cross between tangerines and lemons and are a little sweeter. (Though not so much as you could notice, still nicely tart)
Kind of think of it as a Mint Julep without the sugar and liquor!!
