Lychee Morning Window

Lychee and cucumber make a delicate pairing: floral fruit sweetness beside something cool and garden-fresh. Water gives them room without adding another flavor. Thin cucumber slices are helpful, especially because lychee juice can otherwise be the only thing you notice. Let the glass stand briefly before sipping. If you like quiet, fragrant drinks more than sharp citrus ones, this has a different kind of morning appeal.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cold water
• 2 oz Lychee juice
• 4 slice Cucumber

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.
