Ingredients
– ¾ cup sugar for sweetening the simple syrup
– 2 cups water (for simple syrup) to dissolve the sugar and create the base
– 2 cups cucumber juice extracted from fresh cucumbers for that refreshing twist
– ¾ cup lemon juice squeezed from fresh lemons to add zesty brightness
Instructions
1-Prepare the cucumber juice: Peel about four regular or two English cucumbers, halve them, scoop out the seeds, chop, blend, and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
2-Juice the lemons: You’ll need 3⁄4 cup of lemon juice, which comes from fresh lemons for the best flavor.
3-Mix everything together: Combine the cooled simple syrup with 2 cups cucumber juice and 3⁄4 cup lemon juice in a pitcher.
4-Refrigerate: Chill the mixture until it’s cold, which takes a bit of time but enhances the taste.
5-Serve: Pour over ice and garnish with lemon and cucumber slices for a nice touch.
