Preparation Steps
Clean and Prep the Cucumber
🧼 Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. If it’s not organic, peel it to minimize pesticide exposure. Chop it into small chunks for easy blending.
Blend to Perfection
🥤 Toss the cucumber chunks, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and water (or coconut water) into a blender. Blend until smooth, creating a vibrant, nutrient-packed elixir.
Strain for Smoothness (Optional)
🧺 Prefer a silky texture? Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. This step is optional but creates a more refined drink.
Sweeten the Deal
🍯 Stir in a tablespoon of honey for a hint of sweetness, if desired. This enhances the flavor while keeping the drink natural and healthy.
Chill and Store
❄️ Pour the elixir into a glass container and refrigerate. For best results, consume one tablespoon daily, ideally chilled, to refresh your senses and nourish your eyes.
