1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6-8 medium lemons)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

4 cups cold water

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber with 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.

    Strain the cucumber mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, discarding any solids. This will give your lemonade a smooth cucumber flavor.
