Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups cucumbers, roughly peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup lime juice (about 5 limes)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 cups cold water
- optional: extra cucumber & lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Blend ingredients together. In a large blender combine chopped cucumber, lime juice, sugar, and as much of the 6 cups of water that will fit. Don’t worry if you can’t fit it all as whatever is left can be added later. Blend until large chunks are liquified.
- Strain out solids. Pour the contents of the blender into a large pitcher, straining out solids through a mesh strainer or piece of cheese cloth. Add any additional water that didn’t fit in the blender.
- Garnish & serve. Add extra slices of cucumber and lime to the pitcher, if desired. Serve the agua de pepino over ice, and enjoy!
