Ingredients
– 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
– 1 cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 4 to 5 lemons)
– 1/2 cup honey or sugar (you can adjust according to your taste)
– 4 cups cold water
– Ice cubes, as needed
– Lemon slices and cucumber rounds, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the cucumbers into small chunks to make blending easier.
- Place the chopped cucumbers into a high-speed blender and blend until the texture becomes smooth and pureed.
- Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the cucumber puree into a large pitcher to remove any pulp or seeds, leaving you with smooth cucumber juice.
- Squeeze fresh lemons to extract about 1 cup of lemon juice. Make sure to remove any seeds before mixing.
- Add the lemon juice into the cucumber juice in the pitcher.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of honey or sugar. Stir thoroughly until the sweetener is fully dissolved. You can taste and adjust the sweetness as per your liking.
- Add 4 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and intensify.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cucumber lemonade over them.
- Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a cucumber round to make it visually appealing and extra refreshing.
Health Tip
This cucumber lemonade is more than just a tasty drink—it’s a powerful detox beverage. Cucumber is low in calories and high in water content, which helps flush out toxins from your body. Lemon increases your metabolic rate and supports digestion, while honey provides natural sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels like processed sugar does. Drinking this daily can contribute to better hydration, improved digestion, reduced bloating, and gradual weight loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
