Detailed instructions
-
Blend the cucumber: Place the peeled and diced cucumbers in a blender with 1 cup of cold water. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and liquid.
-
Strain (optional): If you prefer a clear lemonade, strain the cucumber puree through a fine strainer or nut milk bag into a large pitcher to remove the pulp. For a more fibrous, agua fresca-style lemonade, you can skip this step.
-
Prepare the base: Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and your chosen sweetener (honey or sugar) to a pitcher. Stir vigorously until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
-
Dilution: Pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water and mix well.
-
Taste: Taste it quickly. If it's too tart, add another tablespoon of sweetener. If it's too sweet, add a splash of lemon juice or water.
-
Chill and garnish: Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher. Add a few lemon and cucumber slices for a beautiful presentation.
-
Serving: Pour into glasses and garnish with a fresh mint leaf for an extra burst of flavor.
