Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint sprigs and cucumber slices for garnish
Instructions:
- Place the chopped cucumbers and fresh mint leaves in a blender. Blend until smooth, letting the crisp aroma of the cucumber and the fresh, herbal scent of mint fill your kitchen.
- Add the honey (or maple syrup) and lime juice to the blender. Blend again until the flavors are well combined, creating a sweet yet tangy base for your juice.
- Pour in the cold water and blend for a final time. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, leaving you with a smooth, refreshing juice.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the cucumber mint juice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and cucumber slices, making each glass a picture of refreshing sophistication.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- For a zesty twist, add a few slices of fresh ginger before blending.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust the honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Serve in a chilled glass for an extra layer of refreshment, perfect for hot days.
Storage and Substitutions:
Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If cucumbers are out of season, zucchinis can provide a similar texture and mild flavor.
Pairings and Complements:
- Cucumber sandwiches with a light spread of cream cheese
- Fresh fruit salad with a hint of mint
- Light and crispy salted crackers
