OMG! My mom failed to tell me about this yummy drink sooner! She gave me the recipe a few weeks ago and I finally made it today! You must try this refreshing drink!! :thumbup:
Cucumber Agua Fresca
4 1/2 cups coarsely chopped seeded peeled cucumbers (about 4 medium)
4 cups cold water
2 cups ice cubes
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 large pinches of salt
Additional ice cubes
Preparation
Combine 2 1/4 cups chopped cucumbers, 2 cups water, 1 cup ice cubes, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup lime juice, and 1 pinch of salt in blender. Blend until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth but slushy, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to pitcher. Repeat with remaining chopped cucumbers, 2 cups water, 1 cup ice cubes, sugar, lime juice, and salt.
Place additional ice cubes in 8 glasses. Fill with cucumber drink.
This recipe is enough for a family...I just cut it down to make some with 1 large cucumber! My kids even drank it, that's always a good sign!
