Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 large Lemon
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Stevia sweetener
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Trim the ends and slice it into thick pieces.
Using a blender, blend the cucumber slices until smooth. If you prefer, you can strain the cucumber juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp, or leave it for added texture.
Cut the lemons in half and juice them into a separate bowl, removing any seeds. You should have approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Add the lemon juice to the cucumber mixture and stir to combine.
In a large pitcher, combine the cucumber-lemon mixture with the water. Stir in the Stevia sweetener and salt, mixing until they are completely dissolved.
Add the mint leaves to the pitcher. Gently crush them using a spoon to release their flavor without tearing them into pieces.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cucumber lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a slice of cucumber or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately for the most refreshing experience.
