Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced

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

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

4 cups cold water

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Lemon slices and cucumber slices for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the peeled and sliced cucumber with 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.

    Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, discarding the pulp. This will create cucumber juice.

      Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar to the pitcher with the cucumber juice. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

        Pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir well to combine.

          Gently muddle the fresh mint leaves in a separate small bowl to release their oils. Add the muddled mint to the pitcher and stir to infuse the lemonade.

            Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.

              Chill the cucumber lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

                Serve over ice cubes, garnished with lemon and cucumber slices. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
