Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium seedless cucumber
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and cut it into small chunks.
In a blender, add the cucumber chunks and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
Place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl or jug and strain the cucumber puree to remove the pulp. Use a spoon to help push the juice through the sieve.
In the same jug or bowl, combine the strained cucumber juice with the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the remaining 3 cups of water to the jug and stir to combine.
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 1 hour to chill and let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cucumber lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste.
