Ingredients:

  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Lemon slices and cucumber slices for garnish (optional)

  1. Prepare the cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers and cut them into chunks. Place them in a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend the cucumber: Add about 1 cup of water to the blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the cucumber juice (optional): If you prefer a smoother drink, you can strain the blended cucumber mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher. Discard the pulp.
  4. Make the lemonade: In a separate bowl, mix the fresh lemon juice with honey (or sugar) until dissolved.
  5. Combine: Pour the cucumber juice into the pitcher with lemon juice and honey mixture. Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir well to combine.
  6. Chill and Serve: Pour the cucumber lemonade into glasses over ice, and garnish with lemon slices and cucumber slices if desired.
  7. Enjoy! Refreshing and perfect for a hot day!
