Cool Down with This Zesty Cucumber Mint Lemonade Recipe!

Refreshing Cucumber Mint Lemonade

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that is perfect for a hot summer day like today. This Refreshing Cucumber Mint Lemonade is a zesty and invigorating drink that will cool you down and quench your thirst in the most delightful way.

Ingredients:

• 1 cucumber (about 200g)
• 2 lemons (about 120g)
• Handful of fresh mint leaves
• 4 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
• 500ml of water

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• blender
• strainer
• pitcher

To start, peel and chop the cucumber, then squeeze the lemons to extract the juice. In a blender, combine the cucumber, lemon juice, mint leaves, sugar, and water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture to remove any pulp. Transfer the liquid to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least an hour to chill.

Once the Cucumber Mint Lemonade is cold, serve it over ice with a sprig of mint for garnish. The combination of cool cucumber, zesty lemon, and refreshing mint creates a truly unique and invigorating drink that will be a hit at any summer gathering.

The approximate total weight of the drink is 820g, and this recipe makes about 4 servings. Each serving is around 205g, with an approximate calorie count of 80 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of sparkling water before serving for a fizzy twist on this classic lemonade. It adds a fun and bubbly element that will make this drink even more refreshing.

I encourage you to give this Refreshing Cucumber Mint Lemonade a try and make it your own by adjusting the sweetness or adding different herbs like basil or thyme. Cheers to staying cool and hydrated this summer!
