Have you tried drinking your cucumbers yet? It’s a fantastic way to improve hydration, add antioxidants & reduce inflammation. Heck, slice it up & spread it over your face - it feels amazing, reduces puffiness & can soothe a sunburn!
Mint Cucumber Lemonade
2 cucumbers, peeled & cut into thirds
1 C mint leaves, loosely packed ( lemon balm & anise hyssop work great too!)
1 C lemon juice (6 lemons)
1 C water
½ C maple syrup or honey
3 C sparkling water

Combine the cucumber, mint leaves, lemon juice, 1 cup water & sweetener in blender & process until smooth.
Pour the lemonade into a pitcher through a fine mesh strainer to remove any cucumber pulp or mint leaves.
Stir in the sparkling water. Taste & add any more sweetener if needed & enjoy.
