Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol sweetener
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Use a vegetable peeler to remove cucumber skin if desired.
Chop the cleaned cucumber into small chunks.
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber and 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth.
Pour the cucumber mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible.
Discard the remaining pulp left in the sieve.
Add the remaining 2 cups of water, fresh lemon juice, and erythritol sweetener to the pitcher. Stir well until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Taste the lemonade; adjust the sweetness by adding more erythritol if desired.
Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 30 minutes to ensure it is well chilled.
Serve the cucumber lemonade over ice cubes. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
Stir gently before serving to mix any settled ingredients.
