How to Make Homemade Cucumber Lemonade

by

  1. Prepare the cucumber juice:

Blend the chopped cucumber in a blender until smooth.

Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove the pulp (optional if you prefer a smoother lemonade).

  1. Juice the lemons:

Squeeze the lemons to extract about 1 cup of fresh juice. Add the lemon juice to the pitcher.

  1. Sweeten the lemonade:

Stir in the sugar or honey until it’s fully dissolved. You can heat a small portion of the water to make dissolving easier if needed.

  1. Add water:

Pour in the cold water and stir well. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar, lemon juice, or water as needed.

  1. Chill and serve:

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over ice cubes.

  1. Garnish (optional):

Add fresh mint leaves, cucumber slices, or lemon wedges to each glass for a decorative touch.

Tips:

For an extra zing, add a splash of sparkling water or soda before serving.

If you prefer a healthier option, reduce the sugar or substitute it with stevia or agave syrup.

Enjoy your refreshing homemade cucumber lemonade! 🥤✨
