🍋 Ingredients

2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ to ¾ cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
4 cups cold water
1 cup ice cubes
Lemon slices, for garnish
Cucumber slices, for garnish
Fresh mint leaves (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Cucumbers

Add the chopped cucumbers and 1 cup of water to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 2: Strain

Pour the cucumber mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove pulp.

Use a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible.

Step 3: Mix the Lemonade

Add the fresh lemon juice, sugar or honey, and remaining cold water to the pitcher.

Stir well until the sweetener fully dissolves.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

Add ice cubes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.

Serve in glasses garnished with cucumber slices, lemon rounds, and fresh mint.

🍹 Tips

For extra freshness, use sparkling water instead of regular water.
Add a few mint leaves while blending for a cooling mint-cucumber flavor.
Adjust sweetness depending on how tart your lemons are.
