Summer cucumber agua fresca

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Of course you can easily buy lemonade, soft drinks or syrup in the supermarket. But you can also easily make a refreshing drink yourself. This summer cucumber agua fresca can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator and is a combination of iced tea and a kind of vegetable juice. For this drink it is useful if you have a juicer, but a blender will also suffice. Of course you can determine the taste yourself by the ingredients you use, or the amount of sugar or honey you add. This green juice drink tastes fantastic and is easy to make.

Summer cucumber agua fresca

Agua Frescas is mainly found in South American countries, including Mexico. You can actually mix it up and use various types of fruit or vegetables. I did not make the drink too sweet, otherwise you would quickly end up with lemonade and I want to avoid that a bit. I used green tea and honey as a sweetener. All natural ingredients without further additives. You keep it in the refrigerator and if it has been there for a while, always stir or shake it well before pouring it out.

Below is the full recipe with ingredients for this mocktail. Have fun making the drink below. Cheers, and you don't have to hold back on this one...!

You need:

juicer

citrus press

Ingredients:

1x2x3x

• 2 cucumbers
• 3 twigs fresh mint
• 6 limes - squeezed
• 1 liter green tea
• 4 el honey

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.

And this is how you make it:

• Squeeze the limes.
• Remove the mint leaves from the sprigs and push them through the juicer at the same time as the cucumber.
• Brew a liter of green tea and let it cool down.
• In a glass jug or just an old spa red bottle, pour the lime juice, tea, juice and honey together and stir or shake very hard. Then you can pour it out.
• This Agua Fresca can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days, just shake or stir before pouring it again.
• Cheers!

If you don't have a juicer at home, you can put everything in a blender and then give it a whirl. Then drain in a fine sieve so that the pulp remains. Then mix the juice with the tea and lime juice. 

You can also add ginger to the juicer if desired.

This is of course an alcohol-free drink. If you would like to make a cocktail out of it, you can do so by adding some gin or vodka. But in this case I would use it as a thirst quencher. Also super healthy because both green tea and cucumber are good for humans! Want to make other nice drinks? check this one out too:
