Ingredients

1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness)

4 cups cold water

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed

Lemon slices and cucumber ribbons for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions

In a blender, add the chopped cucumber and blend until smooth. If it's too thick, you can add a little water to help it blend.

    Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to extract the juice, discarding the solids.

      In the same pitcher, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

        Add the cold water and mix well. Adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or lemon juice to taste.

          Tear the fresh mint leaves and add them to the pitcher for a refreshing aromatic twist. Stir gently to combine.

            Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

              Serve the cucumber lemonade over ice cubes and garnish with lemon slices and cucumber ribbons.
