A light and refreshing drink made with cucumber and fresh mint, offering a clean, cooling flavor perfect for hot days. Simple, hydrating, and naturally revitalizing.
Equipment
- blender
- fine mesh sieve (optional)
- pitcher
- serving glasses
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Place the chopped cucumber into a blender and blend until completely smooth and watery.
- Add the fresh mint leaves and blend again until the mint is finely incorporated.
- Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture, then pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold.
Notes
Use chilled cucumbers for the most refreshing result. Blend thoroughly to fully incorporate the mint flavor. Strain for a smoother, more delicate texture if desired. Variations include adding lemon juice for brightness, sparkling water for fizz, or a touch of honey for light sweetness. Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir before serving, though it is best enjoyed fresh.
