Cucumber Juice Recipe
Homemade Cucumber Juice made with cucumbers, lemon, and mint blended with water and strained until smooth. No juicer required.
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 English cucumbers
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
Instructions
- Slice off the ends of the cucumbers and peel. Chop into a few larger pieces.
- Place the cucumbers, water, lemon zest, lemon juice and mint in a food processor or in a blender. Blend the ingredients for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Set a strainer over a larger bowl and pour the cucumber juice into the strainer. Use a spatula to move the juice through the strainer until no more juice strains out. Discard the solids.
- Enjoy the cucumber juice immediately, or store in fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
My Top Tip: Use a strainer for extra smooth cucumber juice! If you keep the peel on the cucumber or feel that the mint or lemon zest didn't blend well, you can pour the juice through a mesh sieve and use a spoon to stir it around so it strains properly.
Storage: You can store any leftovers in an airtight mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but I recommend drinking your juice immediately after blending!
Freezing: Cucumber juice freezes well and will last for up to a year in the freezer. The most efficient way to freeze cucumber juice is by pouring it into ice trays, then popping out the cubes and storing them in a heavy-duty freezer bag.
