Cucumber Agua Fresca! Cucumber, lime, mint, lemongrass, sugar, and honey. The perfect tart + fresh summery drink!
INGREDIENTS
3 small cucumbers, cut into chunks
10 fresh basil leaves (or mint!)
2 whole limes, unpeeled and cut into quarters
1 tablespoon lemongrass paste or fresh lemongrass (can also use ginger)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 cups water + an additional 2 cups water later
ice for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Blend the cucumbers, basil, limes, lemongrass, sugar, honey, and 2 cups water together until smooth-ish. The color is gorgeous and the flavor is like a sweet and cooling waterfall for your mouth with just a slight bite from the lime because, yes, we put the whole lime in there.
Which will then be watered down further (to your liking!) and poured over ice to make the best thing you’ve sipped on all summer.

I could actually drink a full pitcher of this stuff. It’s AMAZING.
