🧊 INSTRUCTIONS:
Prep the produce: Wash the cucumber, lemon, and mint thoroughly. Peel the cucumber if desired (especially if waxed), and chop into chunks. Juice the lemon and set aside. If using ginger, grate it finely.
Blend the base: In a high-speed blender, combine cucumber chunks, lemon juice, mint leaves, water, and coconut water (if using). Add ginger and salt if desired. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
Strain (optional): For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher. This step is optional—some prefer the fiber-rich version unstrained.
Chill and serve: Pour into glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with cucumber slices, lemon wheels, and fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavo
