- 1 large cucumber
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 cups of water or coconut water (for additional hydration and electrolytes)
Instructions:
-
- Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Peel it if it’s not organic to reduce pesticide exposure. Chop it into chunks.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cucumber chunks, juice of one lemon, and water or coconut water into a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
- Add Honey: Stir in a tablespoon of honey if you prefer a bit of sweetness. This step is optional but can enhance the flavor.
- Store: Keep the cucumber drink in the refrigerator and consume one tablespoon daily. It’s best enjoyed chilled.
