Description
Lemon Cucumber Mint Juice is a refreshing, hydrating beverage combining the bright flavors of lemon, cool cucumber, and fresh mint. Perfect for hot days or as a revitalizing drink, this juice is light, low in calories, and packed with health benefits.
Ingredients
1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
2 cups cold water
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, lemon juice, mint leaves, honey (if using), and cold water.
- Blend until smooth and well combined. If you’d like a thinner consistency, add more water to your liking.
- Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any pulp or large bits, if desired.
- Serve the juice over ice cubes for an extra refreshing experience.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves or lemon slices for a decorative touch (optional).
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter juice, increase the amount of honey or use a different sweetener like agave syrup or stevia.
- For a fizzy twist, add sparkling water or club soda to the juice after blending.
- If you want a subtle flavor, skip the blender and simply infuse cold water with cucumber, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
- For a spicy kick, try adding a small piece of fresh ginger or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
