Spring is almost over, and the weather is heating up. So you’ll want a cool, refreshing drink for those hot summer afternoons, and we have a recipe for exactly that! So take a long sip of a refreshing, sweet, and tart drink that you can make to your tastes!
What You’ll Need:
1 medium cucumber
5 key limes
Mint leaves to taste (recommended 5 leaves)
Granulated sugar to taste (recommended 1c.)
57 oz pitcher
Blender
Fine mesh strainer
Cutting board
Water and Ice
How to Make It:
Cut cucumber and quarter limes
Tip cucumber and lime pieces in your blender
Add sugar and mint to taste
Add 2 cups of water
Blend until smoothie consistency
Pour liquid into pitcher through a fine mesh strainer
Add ice and water to fill and stir with a long spoon
Serve immediately
This delicious beverage is best if served right away. Limes have a pesky way to turn bitter after about 3 hours. It’s a great drink to make right before serving dinner on a warm evening. Get your blender ready and enjoy!
