One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Place cucumber slices and mint leaves in a blender; blend until smooth.
- Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing to extract all liquid.
- Add honey and lime juice to the pitcher; stir until honey dissolves.
- Pour cold water into the pitcher and mix well.
- Serve over ice cubes and garnish with lime slices and mint sprigs.
A little kitchen know-how
Muddle the mint gently to release oils without tearing leaves and causing bitterness.
Storage & leftovers
Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 2 days; stir well before serving and add fresh ice.
