Cucumber Lime Water

This is what the Spicy People south of the USA border call, Agua de Pepino. It’s a blended cucumber, lime juice, sugar, and water drink poured over ice. It’s very refreshing, very easy to make, and very tasty.

Cucumber Lime Water:
1 Cucumber, washed and ends cut off
1/2 Lime, juiced
2 Tbsp Sugar
Tiny pinch of Salt
1 C Cold Water

Peel the cucumbers lengthwise so it ends up looking like a series of strips, leaving have the green on, half off. Chop the cuke up into 1″ section cuts. Dump them into a high speed blender to blitz. Add the ice and stir. Pour over more ice in tall glasses. This makes about two tall glasses in yield, and keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days.

This is a perfect drink for the HOT summer months. Adjust the sugar either way if you find the taste of cucumbers overwhelming.
