Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 4 cucumbers washed very well & cut in small chunks (discard the ends)
  • 4 cups water divided
  • ½ to ¾ cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 large lime optional

Sugar Free version

  • ⅓ cup Truvia or your favorite non calorie sweetener Note: Truvia is the closest in flavor to real sugar and it dissolves well.

Instructions

  • In a blender, add 1 cucumber and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
  • Strain mixture through a strainer into a bowl then transfer to a pitcher. Discard the solids.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining cucumbers.
  • Add the sugar and mix well. If using lime juice, add it at this point and adjust sugar to taste.
  • Cover and refrigirate for at least an hour.
  • Serve over ice.

Notes

  1. Keep the cucumber's peel as that's where most of the beneficial nutritional value is found.
