Cucumber Agua Fresca Recipe
Cucumber Agua Fresca is a refreshing, non-alcoholic beverage made by blending cucumber chunks, fresh lime juice, sugar, mint, ginger, and water. The smooth puree is strained to remove pulp, resulting in a crisp, lightly sweetened drink with bright citrus and cooling mint notes. Served chilled, it’s an invigorating choice for warm weather hydration.
