Zesty Cucumber Mint Lemonade Recipe for a Refreshing Summer Sip

Refreshing Cucumber Mint Lemonade

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a refreshing cucumber mint lemonade that’s perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day. This zesty and hydrating beverage is infused with the flavors of fresh cucumber, mint, and tangy lemon, making it a great choice for any outdoor gathering or just as a treat for yourself.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
• Handful of fresh mint leaves
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 2-3 tablespoons of sugar
• 4 cups of water
• Ice cubes for serving

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• fine mesh strainer
• pitcher

To start, place the chopped cucumber, mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth and well combined. Next, set a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the mixture through to strain out any pulp or solids, pressing down to extract all the liquid.

Once strained, discard any remaining solids and add more water to the pitcher to dilute the lemonade to your desired taste. Give it a good stir and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill. When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cucumber mint lemonade over the top.

The total weight of the finished cucumber mint lemonade is approximately 1000 grams. This recipe makes 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 250 grams. Each serving is estimated to be around 70 calories.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to garnish each glass with a cucumber slice and a sprig of fresh mint for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.

I encourage you to give this cucumber mint lemonade a try and feel free to adjust the sweetness or tartness to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy this refreshing drink with friends and family or as a solo indulgence on a relaxing afternoon!
