Ingredients

  • 4 cups peeled, chopped cucumber (about 2 large cucumbers)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
  • 2 cups cold water (to dilute)
  • Ice cubes, for serving
  • Mint sprigs or cucumber slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, 1 cup of cold water, lime juice, mint leaves, and sugar.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the pulp.
  4. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of cold water.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Serve over ice and garnish with mint sprigs or cucumber slices, if desired.

Notes

For an extra chill, refrigerate the blended mixture for 1 hour before serving. You can substitute sugar with honey or agave if preferred.
