How Long To Let Cucumber Water Sit For The Utmost Infusion
BY ANNA STAROPOLI
While some cucumber water recipes call for at least one hour of infusion, bumping up that timeframe to two hours will give you the most flavorful results.
The best way to infuse your cucumbers is to add your vegetables to a pitcher of water and let the two meld together in the refrigerator.
For maximum flavor, the Kitchn recommends two cutting strategies: cucumber rounds and ribbons. The ribbons expedite the infusion process while the rounds stay crisp.
Once you’ve perfected your cucumber flavor, consider incorporating other complementary ingredients like fresh-cut ginger, citrus, or herbs like mint and basil.
