Categories     Fruit Juice     Non-Alcoholic     Blender     Lime     Cucumber     Summer     Bon Appétit     Drink

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 1/2 cups coarsely chopped seeded peeled cucumbers (about 4 medium)
4 cups cold water
2 cups ice cubes
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 large pinches of salt
Additional ice cubes

Steps:

  • Combine 2 1/4 cups chopped cucumbers, 2 cups water, 1 cup ice cubes, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup lime juice, and 1 pinch of salt in blender. Blend until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth but slushy, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to pitcher. Repeat with remaining chopped cucumbers, 2 cups water, 1 cup ice cubes, sugar, lime juice, and salt.
  • Place additional ice cubes in 8 glasses. Fill with cucumber drink.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Use fresh, crisp cucumbers for the best flavor. English cucumbers are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
  • Chill the ingredients: Chill the cucumbers, lime juice, and water before making the agua fresca. This will help the drink stay cold and refreshing.
  • Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor is the best way to puree the cucumbers and lime juice. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can grate the cucumbers and then stir in the lime juice.
  • Strain the mixture: Strain the cucumber-lime mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give the agua fresca a smooth, refreshing texture.
  • Sweeten to taste: Add sugar or honey to taste. You can also use other sweeteners, such as agave nectar or stevia.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Agua fresca is best served immediately, but you can also chill it for later. If you chill the agua fresca, be sure to stir it before serving.

Conclusion:

Agua fresca de pepino is a refreshing, healthy drink that is perfect for hot summer days. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its cool, crisp flavor and hydrating properties, agua fresca de pepino is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
