Ingredients

4 servings

3 cups water
2 medium cucumbers, roughly chopped ((2 medium cucumbers yield ~4 cups or 450 g chopped))
3 medium limes, juiced ((3 medium limes yield ~1/4 cup or 60 ml juice))
2 -3 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup
1 small handful fresh mint leaves ((optional but highly recommended // 1 small handful yields ~15-20 leaves))
Ice cubes ((for serving))

Instructions

Before blending, we recommend tasting your cucumbers to see if the peel is bitter. We left our peels on for vibrant color and flavor, but bitter peels should be removed.
Add all ingredients to a blender (starting with the lesser amount of agave or maple syrup) and blend until completely smooth. Pour through a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or measuring cup to remove pulp, using a spoon to move it around and speed up straining as needed. Taste and adjust, adding more agave or maple syrup for sweetness or more lime juice for tartness.
Serve chilled, over ice. Leftovers keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen into ice cubes or popsicle molds!
