Instructions
Step 1:
-
Wash your green cucumbers very well. Use cool water to clean the skin. Slice them into small round discs. Do not worry about the seeds.
Step 2:
-
Put cucumber discs in the blender. Add the fresh mint leaves now. Do not use the woody stems. Pour in two cups of water.
Step 3:
-
Turn the blender to high speed. Blend until the mix is green. There should be no big chunks. It should look like a thin puree.
Step 4:
-
Place a strainer over your pitcher. Pour the green mix through it. Use a spoon to press the pulp. Get every drop of juice out.
Step 5:
-
Squeeze your fresh limes into the pitcher. Add the agave nectar to the juice. Stir the liquid with a long spoon.
Step 6:
-
Add the rest of the cold water. Stir again to mix everything well. Taste it to check the sweetness. Add more agave if you like.
Step 7:
-
Fill your serving glasses with ice. Pour the drink over the ice cubes. Add a lime slice on top. Serve it to your friends immediately.
