Lighter than juice and way more interesting than sparkling water, agua frescas are next-level refreshers. Here’s a cucumber-lime take on the drink.
Ingredients
2 cucumbers
2 cups water
1/2 mint leaves
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup agave syrup
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Peel and very roughly chop cucumbers.
Combine cucumbers, water, mint leaves, lime juice, agave syrup and salt in a high-powered blender. Blend on high for 30 to 35 sec until liquified. Pour into a large pitcher filled with ice, then top with 3 to 4 cups water. Stir to combine.
