One of my favorite drinks is this refreshing cucumber lime drink from Harshita’s Kitchen. It’s so much better than canned juice you buy in stores! I highly recommend this drink because it’s really good. I made it for the first time at a party and it was an immediate success. Everyone liked it, even the children. So we decided to prepare it every weekend of this summer season. Just mix all the ingredients in a blender and it’s ready to serve. It’s sweet, minty and citrusy. Drunk on a hot sunny day, it is the best way to quench your thirst. Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.
Ingredients
- a mini cucumber
- a lime (more for garnish – cut into thin slices)
- 0.35 oz fresh mint leaves (about 10-12 leaves)
- three tablespoons of sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- many ice cubes
Instructions
Phase 1:
Start by cutting the cucumber into pieces, squeezing a lime and washing the mint leaves. Be sure to remove the seeds from the lime.
Level 2:
Add the cucumber pieces to the blender, then the juice of 1 lime, 10-12 fresh mint leaves and three tablespoons of sugar. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness you desire. If you prefer, you can also use sweeteners.
Phase 3:
Pour 2/3 cup water into blender and blend until smooth. Cucumbers have a high water content, so you don’t need to add a lot.
Step 4:
Add several ice cubes to a glass, then pour in the cucumber drink. Garnish with a lime wedge and a few mint leaves. Serve and enjoy!
