Cucumber lemonade at home
In essence, the name "Lemonade" indicates that the base is lemon. This concept has become outdated, and many make such a drink from oranges, currants, strawberries, mint, and even cucumber lemonade at home. We offer you a recipe for cucumber lemonade. Cucumber itself is a refreshing vegetable, and drinking it refreshes and gives a sense of coolness. Taster opinions vary regarding the taste: some are fascinated by the fresh taste of summer drink from the first sip, while others claim that cucumbers are better pickled. We will not impose someone else's opinion and suggest that you make it yourself and appreciate it.
Preparation time: 40 minutes.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- cucumbers – 500 g;
- lemons – 2 pcs;
- sugar – 150 g;
- water – 2 l (cold);
- water – 150 ml (warm).
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients for making cucumber lemonade at home.
- Trim the ends of the cucumbers and cut the cucumbers into several pieces.
- Transfer them to the blender bowl.
- If desired, you can add a little water to the bowl to make it easier for the blender to chop the cucumbers. Turn on the blender at maximum speed for about 2 minutes. Chop the cucumbers until smooth.
- Let’s prepare the sugar syrup. Pour 150 grams of sugar into a saucepan.
- Pour 150 milliliters of warm water at about 50 – 55 degrees over the sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Separate the juice from the pulp of the cucumbers. To do this, strain the cucumbers through a sieve into a separate container. Usually, one filtration is not enough. We will do a second, more thorough filtration at the very end of the preparation.
- Pour the cucumber juice into the sugar syrup.
- Squeeze the juice from two lemons into the saucepan with the cucumber juice in any convenient way.
- Add 2 liters of cold water to the obtained concentrate and stir everything.
- Strain through a sieve and immediately serve at the table. If you want to get rid of the remaining cucumber pulp, you need to filter it carefully through cheesecloth, folded in several layers. Cucumber lemonade at home is ready. Serve it with ice and slices of lemon and cucumber.
