Fresh Cucumber Juice
Prep Time
15 minutes
Number of Servings
Serves 2
Ingredients
  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 1-2 tsp honey (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Directions
  1. Rinse cucumbers thoroughly. If you prefer a smoother, less vibrantly colored juice, peel the cucumbers, or leave skin on for added nutrients.
  2. Cut cucumbers into chunks, and place in blender. Add lemon juice, honey, and salt, if using. Blend until smooth.
  3. For clearer juice, strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher to remove pulp. Use a spoon to press down on the pulp to extract more juice.
  4. Pour juice into glasses over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using. Serve immediately. Leftover juice can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
