Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)

4 cups cold water

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Lemon slices and cucumber slices for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.

    Strain the cucumber mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the juice.

      Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar to the cucumber juice. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

        Pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir to combine.

          Toss in the fresh mint leaves and allow the mixture to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

            Serve the cucumber lemonade over ice cubes in glasses, garnished with lemon slices and cucumber slices.
