Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
- 4 cups cold water
- Mint leaves for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by slicing one large cucumber into thin rounds. Squeeze fresh limes to obtain about half a cup of lime juice. - Mix the Base:
In a large pitcher, combine the sliced cucumber, fresh lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Stir the mixture well to ensure the sweetener begins to dissolve. - Add Water:
Pour in four cups of cold water. Stir thoroughly until the honey or agave syrup is completely dissolved and evenly distributed. - Chill the Mixture:
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully. - Serve:
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled limeade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of freshness.
