- 3 cups chopped seeded peeled cucumber (about 2 medium)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 serrano pepper, seeded
- 3 cups water
- Ice
- Lime slices (optional)
- Cucumber slices (optional)
Combine first 4 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth. Add 3 cups water; cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight.
Strain cucumber mixture through a fine sieve over a pitcher;
discard solids. Serve over ice; garnish with lime or cucumber slices,
if desired.
Serves 4 (1 c.); 54 calories.
VERDICT: Refreshing, but not awesome--maybe even a little sweeter than I expected. Toss.
