BEST | MINT CUCUMBER LEMONADE

Minty Cucumber Lemonade made with only a couple of ingredients during a matter or minutes – cool, refreshing and straightforward to make!
I sit here drinking this minty cucumber lemonade during a thick sweater searching of a window at a decidedly overcast and misty sky BEYOND ready for a hot, summer day.


At least when the hotter days do start rolling in I’ll be ready with my summer drink of choice in hand.


Let’s get to it!


HOW TO MAKE: MINT CUCUMBER LEMONADE

This lemonade is pretty simple to form requiring only 6 ingredients and about quarter-hour to form . the toughest part here are going to be squeezing out the juice , but that’s more so tedious than difficult.


Plus, on the brilliant side – your kitchen goes to smell SO good with all the fresh lemon smells. Definitely worthwhile .


Once you’ve got your lemons squeezed, deseeded and prepared to travel it’s really just a matter of mixing most of your remaining ingredients during a blending and processing until all the small mint and cucumber bits are choppy .


For an additional smooth lemonade i like to recommend straining out the cucumber/pulp remains from the lemonade. Just pour it during a fine mesh strainer and into a pitcher – super easy.


Finally add the remaining water – |sparkling or still |– whatever you like !! Sparkling could also be an excellent option if you’re craving slightly bit of carbonation, but still water is additionally a superb choice for a more classic lemonade.


Once you’ve mixed everything together just provides it a taste to ascertain if it needs a touch more sweetener or not and enjoy!
