Cucumber Limeade


When I saw this recipe, it intrigued me!  I tried it & LOVED it!!
 
 
Ingredients:
 
1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced into chunks
Juice of 3 limes (or 4 if they are small)
1/2 - 1 cup simple syrup (see recipe below)
Water (just enough to make the mixture mix well in the blender)
 
Directions:
1.)  In a blender, add cucumber, lime juice, simple syrup and water.
2.) Blend until cucumbers are well chopped.  Strain through a strainer.
3.)  Serve over ice (I blended my ice in with the drink in the blender).
 
I dipped my cups in the simple syrup mixture before I put it in the blender & then I dipped them in a bit of sugar.  YUM!
 
Simple syrup:  Boil equal parts sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved.
