Fresh Cucumber Limeade

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cucumbers
  • 10 limes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 mint sprigs
  • 8 cups spring water

Instructions
 

  • Start off by juicing 8-9 limes. That makes about 1 cup of lime juice. Keep your other lime for garnish. Set aside.
  • Add your 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Turn to medium high heat and stir til sugar is dissolved. Now you have a simple syrup. Turn off heat and add 1 sprig of mint. Set aside.
  • Chop up your cucumbers and blend them in your blender or mash em up with a potato masher or fork. Once they are blended or mashed up put a strainer over a bowl and push all the juice out of it. Now you have cucumber juice. Discard your pulp or use it for compost.
  • Pour your lime juice and simple syrup over strainer into cucumber juice. Mix well.
  • In a pitcher pour your mixture in along with 4 cups of spring water. Taste to see if you like it this way if not add the other 4 cups of water. Throw in 2 sprigs of mint, some sliced limes and cucumbers. Chill in fridge and enjoy. This will last for 3-5 days.
