Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 4 cups of cold water
- 2 tablespoons of honey (or to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Cucumber slices and lemon wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. The fresh, crisp scent of cucumber and the tangy aroma of lemon will start to fill your kitchen.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp. Press down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Add the cold water and honey to the pitcher. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Serve the cucumber lemon juice over ice cubes for an extra chill. Garnish with cucumber slices and lemon wedges for a beautiful presentation.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- Replace honey with agave syrup or a splash of apple juice for a sweeter touch.
- For a fizzy twist, use sparkling water instead of still water.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, especially on hot days.
- Add a few mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing minty flavor.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover cucumber lemon juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving again.
- If lemons are not available, limes can be used as a substitute.
- For a lower-sugar option, omit the honey or use a natural sweetener like stevia.
