Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cucumber Lemonade Refreshment.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients: fresh water, granulated sugar, a crisp cucumber, and zesty lemons.
Step 2
Next, let’s create a delightful simple syrup.
Step 3
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar, stirring gently until the mixture is just about to boil and the sugar has fully dissolved.
Step 4
Once that’s done, remove it from the heat and let it cool in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes—this will give your lemonade a refreshing sweetness.
Step 5
While the syrup cools, it’s time to prepare the cucumber.
Step 6
Slice it up and toss the pieces into a blender or food processor, blending until you achieve a smooth pulp.
Step 7
Pour this vibrant cucumber pulp into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl, allowing it to sit for about 15 minutes.
Step 8
This will yield around 2/3 cup of refreshing cucumber juice.
Step 9
Now, grab a pitcher and combine your cooled simple syrup, the freshly extracted cucumber juice, and the juice of your lemons.
Step 10
Give it a good stir to blend all those delicious flavors together.
Step 11
When you’re ready to serve, pour the lemonade over ice for an extra chill.
Step 12
Enjoy this refreshing drink on a warm day, and savor the delightful combination of cucumber and lemon that will surely quench your thirst!.
