Found this recipe on some video scrolling platform from @jose.elcook via @liamlayton . Simple ingredients, easy prep, and so delicious. Great summer beverage! Ingredients  * 2 English Cucumbers or 3 regular cucumbers * The juice of 2 limes (6 Tbsp pre-squeezed) * 1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar * 5 cups cold water * 1-2 sprigs mint (optional) Directions 1) Wash cucumbers and peel either entirely or halfway. The amount of peel left on will give the final product more texture 2) Chop cucumbers into 1-2 inch pieces  3) Add cucumbers, lime juice, water, and mint to blender and blend on low until no chunks remain.  4) Add 1/4 cup of sugar and blend on high until smooth. Taste and add additional sugar and continue to blend until the sweetness is to your taste. 5) Serve immediately after blending. Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge, but blend again before serving. This helps to resuspend the particles in the liquid.  Source: FB reel - https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1FnUE2giBN/
