Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Lime

- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers, lime, and mint leaves thoroughly.
Peel the cucumbers (optional, depending on your preference) and slice them into chunks.
Juice the lime and set aside.
In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, honey (or agave syrup), water, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high until smooth and well-combined.
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher and pour the blended mixture through it to remove pulp.
