We were in line at the grocery store talking to a friend. He had lemons, cucumbers, sugar and two 2-quart containers. I thought he must be making lemonade and I was right! But it wasn’t what I was thinking … he told us he was making Cucumber Lemonade. According to our friend this is “The best lemonade and we should give it a try.” We asked him for the recipe and here it is for you to try, too.

Ingredients: (Makes two quarts.)
10 to 12 medium to large Lemons
4 to 6 medium to large Cucumbers
Sugar to taste
Water
Mint, optional

NOTE: Options - before cutting up the lemons ...
            1. You may want to add some pizazz by cutting one lemon into slices to put in the pitcher.
            2. Save some lemon peels to make lemon zest as a garnish.
            3. Otherwise, use all the lemons for the juice.

Directions:
* Squeeze lemons into a large bowl.
* Use a lemon sleeve or cheesecloth to capture seeds.
* Peel and slice cucumbers and place in lemon juice.
* Set aside for at least two hours. (Can be prepared overnight to maximize time.)
* Add sugar to water, stirring thoroughly.
* Strain cucumber/lemon mixture if you don’t want pulp in your lemonade. Drain the mixture if you
enjoy some pulp.
* Mix lemon juice with sugar water.
* Discard cucumbers.
* Garnish with lemon slices and/or lemon zest.
* Add a sprig of mint (optional), and viola!
