Description
A light and refreshing cucumber lemon juice made with fresh cucumbers, lemon juice, and a touch of honey. This naturally hydrating drink is crisp, cooling, and perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
2 large cucumbers, chopped
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut them into chunks so they blend easily.
- Add the cucumber pieces and cold water to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the blended cucumber mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the pulp and create a smoother juice.
- Add the fresh lemon juice, honey, and salt to the strained cucumber juice.
- Stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
- Add the ice cubes and gently mix.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately while fresh and chilled.
Notes
Add a few fresh mint leaves to the blender for an extra cooling and refreshing flavor.
Maple syrup or agave syrup can be used instead of honey for a different natural sweetness.
For a stronger citrus taste, add a small amount of fresh lime juice along with the lemon juice.
A small piece of fresh ginger can be blended in for a mild spicy kick.
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
Stir well before serving if separation occurs.
