Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4-6 lemons
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cold water

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.
  2. Strain the cucumber puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
