Here’s a refreshing Cucumber Lemonade 🥒🍋—cool, light, and perfect for hot days.
Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- ½–¾ cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- 3 cups cold water

- Lemon slices and cucumber slices for garnish (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
1. Blend the Cucumber
- Place chopped cucumber and 1 cup of water in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
2. Strain
- Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into a pitcher to remove pulp.
3. Make the Lemonade
- Add fresh lemon juice, sugar (or honey), and the remaining water.
- Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
4. Chill and Serve

- Garnish with lemon slices, cucumber slices, and mint.
✅ Tips
- Use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
- Add sparkling water instead of regular water for a fizzy drink.
- Blend a few mint leaves with the cucumber for extra freshness.
