About this recipe
Cucumber-mint lemonade is a light drink made with lemons, cucumber, fresh mint, honey, and water. The cucumber adds a cool, delicate note, the lemons provide acidity, and the mint makes the drink especially refreshing. Slice the cucumber thinly so it releases its flavor quickly without overpowering the drink. Dissolve the honey in some of the water before adding the lemon juice so the lemonade is evenly flavored.
Ingredients
1/2 cucumber
2 lemons
1 liter thoroughly chilled water
2 tablespoons honey
a few mint leaves
Steps
Use water chilled in advance in the refrigerator. Wash the cucumber and cut into very thin slices, then squeeze the lemons and remove the seeds. Rinse the mint and gently bruise it in your hands.
In a pitcher, dissolve the honey in some of the water, then add the lemon juice and cucumber slices. Stir to help the cucumber begin releasing its fresh flavor.
Pour in the remaining cold water and add the mint. Stir gently, keeping the cucumber slices intact. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator.
After about 10 minutes, check the mint and cucumber aroma, then serve. This short stage assumes the water was already cold; room-temperature water will need longer chilling.
