Fresh Cucumber Lemonade recipe 🍋

Ingredients:

✨2 large cucumbers, peeled + chopped

✨1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

✨3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

✨4 cups cold water

✨Ice cubes

✨Sliced cucumbers + lemon slices for garnish

📍Directions:

Puree Cucumbers: In a blender, blend the chopped cucumbers until smooth. Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

Mix Lemonade: To the cucumber juice in the pitcher, add the fresh lemon juice, sugar, & cold water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste & adjust sweetness if necessary.

Chill: Add ice cubes to the pitcher & stir again. For the best flavor, let the lemonade chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Serve: Serve the cucumber lemonade over ice, garnished w/ thin slices of cucumber & lemon.
