Cucumber Juice
Description
The Cucumber Juice recipe starts by peeling English cucumbers and chopping them into pieces before blending with water, lemon juice and zest, and fresh mint leaves. Using a strong blender or food processor, the ingredients are pureed until smooth. The mixture is then strained through a fine mesh to separate juice from pulp, resulting in a clean, light green juice with subtle cucumber sweetness and fresh mint aroma complemented by tangy lemon.
This juice is best served immediately or chilled briefly in the refrigerator. It makes a hydrating and flavorful drink that's gentle and not overpowering, ideal for hot days or as a complement to meals seeking a fresh palate cleanser.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, and consumed within 24 hours for best freshness and flavor. Using a high-performance blender with a smoothie setting helps achieve a consistent puree and smooth texture before straining.
Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 cucumber English
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons mint fresh
Instructions
- Slice off the ends of the cucumbers and peel. Chop into a few larger pieces.
- Place the cucumbers, water, lemon zest, lemon juice and mint in a food processor or in a blender. Blend the ingredients for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Set a strainer over a larger bowl and pour the cucumber juice into the strainer. Use a spatula to move the juice through the strainer until no more juice strains out. Discard the solids.
- Enjoy the cucumber juice immediately, or store in fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Store leftover juice in an airtight mason jar and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- Best consumed immediately after blending to enjoy the brightest flavors.
- Use a high-powered blender like a Vitamix for smooth purees and efficient blending.
