Refreshing Cucumber Mint Agua Fresca - a cool blend of cucumbers, lime, and fresh mint to beat the summer heat!
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb of cucumbers (about 2 good sized cucumbers), ends trimmed, but peel still on, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup lime juice from fresh limes (from about 1 pound of limes, or 5 to 10 limes, depending on how juicy they are)
  • 1 1/4 cup packed (spearmint) mint leaves (about a large handful), woody stems removed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • Approximately 1 1/4 cup of water
Instructions:
  • Create a smooth purée by blending ingredients in a blender with enough water to fill 3/4 of the blender. Hold the lid securely in place while blending.
  • Strain out solids: Set up a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and push the purée through it using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to squeeze out maximum liquid.
  • Enhance with ice: Fill a sizeable pitcher halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the juice. Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint and slices of lime.
