I first heard of cucmber drinks last Sunday and so had to create one of my own. It's very simple and tastes great. It's very refreshing. So c'mon and share yours with us. Here's mine.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cucumbers, peeled and cut into chunks
1 lime
2 cups water
sweetener (sugar, sucralose (Splenda), etc.) to taste
Throw all ingredients into a blender and blend on medium setting. Add sweetener to taste.
The flavor is a little different than straight lime-aid, but similar. The cucumber takes on the texture of pulp, like in orange juice with lots of pulp. Serve ice cold.
I can also see this working with lemon juice, or combined with watermellon, maybe cranberry juice. The cucumber is slightly acidic and enhances the flavor of those ingredients I've listed. If you have other T&T recipes for making cucumber dirinks, please share.
