Here’s a recipe for a refreshing Lemon, Apple, and Cucumber Drink that’s not only delicious but also great for your well-being:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 green apple, cored and chopped
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Honey or agave syrup, to taste (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, chopped green apple, and lemon juice.
- Add cold water to the blender.
- Blend the mixture until smooth.
- Taste the drink and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding honey or agave syrup. Blend again briefly to incorporate the sweetener.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. However, leaving the pulp in the drink adds fiber and nutrients.
- Transfer the drink to a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes (if using) and pour the chilled Lemon, Apple, and Cucumber Drink into the glasses.
- Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for a burst of flavor and aroma.
- Stir gently before drinking to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
- Enjoy this refreshing beverage any time of the day for a hydrating and invigorating experience!
Feel free to adjust the quantities of ingredients to suit your taste preferences. You can also experiment with adding other fruits or herbs to customize the flavor of the drink even further.
