Cucumber and Lemon Agua Fresca

Have you ever made a homemade Cucumber and Lemon Agua Fresca recipe? It’s really delicious and very refreshing, especially in the summer. It’s perfect to drink throughout the day and even as an appetizer. The great thing is that it is very easy to make and you can prepare it in advance.

All you have to do is brew your ingredients in water. There are several recipes out there but today I’m going to tell you how to make a mint, lemon and cucumber flavored water.

As I told you in my Tzatziki or Raita recipes, when I listen to my cucumbers, I like to catch the water that comes out of them in order to make a delicious and ultra refreshing cucumber detox water.
If you’ve never tried it, I urge you to do so because it doesn’t waste the water from the cucumbers, but it’s so good that you’ll be hooked for the good days.

In place of an afternoon tea or as a non-alcoholic appetizer, this is ideal. However, for those who want an original cocktail, you can always add a shot of Hendricks Gin, I’ll explain this in detail in an upcoming Gin Tonic recipe.

For the cucumber, you can either collect the water that runs off of it when you make another salad recipe, or simply slice it and let it steep in the fridge for a few hours.
