Ingredients

2 medium fresh cucumbers
2–3 cups cold water
1–2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tbsp honey or natural sweetener (optional)

Instructions

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, peel if needed, and cut into small chunks.
Add the cucumber pieces to a blender along with cold water and lemon or lime juice.
Blend until smooth and fully combined.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother texture.
Add sweetener and mint leaves if desired, then mix well.
