Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cups Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 piece Sliced lemon
- 0.25 piece Sliced cucumber for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cucumber. Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then peel and cut it into large chunks.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth, then strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove any solids. Discard the solids.
Step 3
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey to the strained cucumber juice in the pitcher. Stir well to ensure the honey is completely dissolved.
Step 4
Pour the remaining 2 cups of cold water into the pitcher and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher and a few fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
Step 6
Stir the lemonade and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and enhance.
Step 7
Before serving, give the lemonade a good stir, and add slices of lemon and cucumber for garnish.
Step 8
Pour the cucumber lemonade into glasses, ensuring each glass gets some ice. Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
