Cucumber Lemonade

Cucumber Lemonade

A refreshing, antioxidant-packed drink that hydrates and supports digestion. Perfect for a hot day or a quick post-workout boost.

• 2 medium cucumbers (peeled or sliced)
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
• 4 cups cold, filtered water
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, to taste
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint sprigs (optional garnish)

1. Rinse and slice the cucumbers. Place them in a large pitcher.
2. Add ice and water. Chill for 15–20 minutes to infuse the cucumber flavor.
3. Stir in the lemon juice and honey (or maple). Mix well until the sweetener dissolves.
4. Pour into glasses and garnish with a mint sprig if desired. Serve chilled.

Health Tip: Cucumber is over 95% water and high in potassium, making this lemonade an excellent electrolyte source after exercise. Lemon provides vitamin C and helps lower uric acid, while honey supplies natural antioxidants.
