Ingredients
- 1 medium sized cucumber, peeled or unpeeled (See notes)
- Juice of 4 lemons
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (You can also use agave/honey)
- 3 cups cold water
- Ice, to serve
Instructions
- Cut cucumber into smaller chunks and blend this with 1 cup of water. You can also use a juicer to extract the juice.
- If using a blender, place a fine-mesh strainer over a jug and pour the cucumber juice through it. Discard the pulp.
- In the jug, add lemon juice, sugar and water.
- Give it a good stir and let it sit in the fridge to chill. The sugar would gradually melt on its own.
- Add more water or sugar if required.
- Serve over ice.
Notes
If you are not using organic cucumber, I would suggest that you peel the skin of the cucumber. Some cucumber have bitter skin, so it would be better to peel the skin.
