Sipping Sunshine: Cucumber Mint Lemonade Recipe

Refreshing Cucumber Mint Lemonade

Today, I’m excited to share a perfect summer beverage recipe that will cool you down on even the hottest of days. This refreshing cucumber mint lemonade is bursting with flavor and is the ultimate thirst-quencher. It’s a delicious twist on a classic lemonade with a hint of mint and a cool cucumber kick.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium cucumbers (approx. 300g)
• 4 lemons, juiced (approx. 200ml)
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 cups water
• Ice cubes, for serving

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• strainer
• pitcher
• serving glasses

I start by peeling and chopping the cucumbers, then placing them in a blender along with the fresh mint leaves. I blend them together until smooth, then strain the mixture to remove any solids. In a pitcher, I combine the cucumber-mint mixture with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water. I stir everything together until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Once the mixture is well combined, I chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors meld together. When ready to serve, I pour the cucumber mint lemonade over ice in individual glasses. The drink is light, cool, and incredibly refreshing, making it the perfect summer beverage to enjoy on a hot day.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1000g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 250g, and the approximate calorie count per serving is 100 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to garnish the glasses with a slice of cucumber and a sprig of fresh mint for a beautiful presentation that will impress your guests.

I encourage you to give this cucumber mint lemonade a try and feel free to experiment with the ingredients to make it your own. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy at a summer barbecue, picnic, or simply lounging in the sun. Cheers to staying cool and refreshed!
