Cucumber Lemonade

Cucumber Lemonade
Cucumber Lemonade - A perfect thirst quencher

As the weather is getting warm and summer is approaching we need to hydrate ourselves with plenty of liquids. This yummy lemonade is perfect for sunny days. This is a best thirst quencher and a healthy option too! I took the original recipe from here.

Let’s go to the recipe now:


Ingredients:
  • 1 Cucumber, peeled and cubed (English Cucumber)
  • 1 Lemon
  • 5 cups Water
  • Sugar to taste
Preparation:
  1. Add cucumber and water to a blender and puree.
  2. Filter the contents to remove the excess pulp. 
  3. Add juice of a lemon and sugar to taste.
  4. Serve over ice or just like that. 
  5. So refreshing!!
