Prep Time:

Number of Servings:
2
Equipment
- Blender
Directions
- Rinse cucumbers thoroughly. If you prefer a smoother, less vibrantly colored juice, peel the cucumbers, or leave skin on for added nutrients.
- Cut cucumbers into chunks, and place in blender. Add lemon juice, honey, and salt, if using. Blend until smooth.
- For clearer juice, strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher to remove pulp. Use a spoon to press down on the pulp to extract more juice.
- Pour juice into glasses over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using. Serve immediately. Leftover juice can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
