Feel free to add a couple of tablespoons of chia seeds for extra health benefits, or be bad with a splash of good vodka and turn it into a cocktail. I will never tell 😉 

It is also really lovely with fresh basil instead of mint, just like this strawberry lemonade. For some reason I’m really fond of the mint in here tough. If you do decide to turn it into a cocktail I’d strongly suggest a few jalapeño slices for attitude!

Ingredient notes:

All you need is a cucumber, some lemons, mint or lemon balm leaves + honey. All that stuff you probably have around the kitchen, plus a small blender or food processor. Or you could even muddle the cucumber with a wooden spoon, straight in the pitcher if you prefer.

To strain or not to strain your lemonade ?

I would argue that’s a shame, this is the rustic kitchen plus you’d be cheating yourself out of some good fiber and vitamins.

It also looks pretty cool with tiny little green specks from the cucumber peel, don’t you agree? So, whatever you want to do actually!

    This was absolutely amazing, thirst quenching and I’m about to make some more to have for the week. I strained it and it was a gorgeous green color.
