Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber (cut into chunks)
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup liquid honey (or other vegan honey substitute)
- Juice of 7 lemons
- 3-4 cups sparkling water (or still water)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cucumber chunks, water, honey, and lemon juice to your blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is very smooth, ensuring all the flavors combine well and the cucumber is fully pureed.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the blended cucumber mixture through a fine strainer into a large pitcher to remove any remaining pulp for a smooth texture.
- Add Sparkling Water and Garnish: Stir in 3 to 4 cups of sparkling water to the pitcher. Add slices of lemon and cucumber, and ice if desired, to enhance the flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Pour the lemonade into sugar-rimmed glasses, if you like, and garnish each with additional lemon and cucumber slices. Enjoy with cute paper straws for a fun touch!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or a vegan substitute to suit your taste.
- Use still water instead of sparkling water if you prefer a non-fizzy drink.
- For an extra chilled experience, refrigerate the lemonade before serving.
- To rim the glasses with sugar, moisten the glass edge with lemon juice and dip into sugar before filling.
