The designated summer drink
Now that summer is upon us, the last thing you want to drink is a boring drink.
Lately, cucumber lemonade has been my go-to drink.
If you are a fan of cucumbers like me, you must try this drink.
For this quick and easy recipe, you will need two cucumbers, three or four lemons or limes, sugar, a mesh sieve, a vegetable peeler, a lemon squeezer (optional), a tea jar, a large spoon, a cutting board and a knife.
You are going to start off by peeling the two cucumbers and cutting them into small pieces.
Then, cut about four lemons or limes, depending on what you have and what you like.
Put the cut-up cucumber inside the blender and squeeze the lemon or limes with your lemon squeezer or by hand.
After you have finished with that, add water inside the blender, pour just enough to cover the cucumber and blend.
Blend until the mixture is completely liquefied, you want it to be as smooth as possible. Strain the mixture through a mesh sieve into a tea jar.
This will help get rid of the pulp, any remaining solid pieces and make your lemonade look clear.
Once everything is poured in the tea jar, add more water.
The amount will depend on the size of your tea jar and how much you want.
Add about a cup and a half of sugar and stir. If it needs more sugar, add more. If it is too sweet, add more water.
After you have accommodated the drink to your liking, all that is left to do is serve it with ice and enjoy!
This drink is so easy to make and so delicious. You can always add trechas, tajín or chamoy to it for a little more taste, and if you are over 21, you can add your favorite tequila or vodka to accentuate the flavors. Just make sure to drink responsibly.
I cannot express enough how delicious this drink is. It is refreshing to say the least, and most needed during this blazing summer heat.
What better time to drink a tasty cucumber lemonade than now?
