Cucumber & Mint Refresher Drink

Category: Smoothie/beverage

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes

Yield: 8 Cups Water

Smoothie: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add ice cubes to create a thicker texture.
Juice: Blend all ingredients together and pass mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Sparkling Juice: Add ¼- ½ cup seltzer water to strained juice.
Flavored Water: Slice cucumbers into ¼ in slices. Slice lemon into thin slices, remove seeds. Rough chop mint leaves to release essential oils.
Popsicle: Place strained juice into a popsicle mold or use an ice-cube tray. For ice-cube tray popsicles, cover with plastic wrap and insert one popsicle stick into each space. Remove plastic wrap after freezing. You can also place liquid into disposable popsicle bags.
Granita: Place strained juice into a glass or ceramic baking dish. Place in freezer for four hours, mixing with a fork every 30 minutes until slushy consistency is achieved. You can also place the slushy mixture into disposable popsicle bags.
