Agua Fresca de Pepino: Cold Cucumber Drink

This recipe comes from Mexico. It’s a nifty way to use up excess cucumbers.

3 quarts water
3 cucumbers, peeled and coarsely sliced
7 limes, juiced to yield 1/2 cup
¼ cup sugar, or more

Put 1/2 cup of water in a blender container with 1 cup of sliced cucumber. Blend. Add more cucumber and blend. Continue until all the cucumbers are pureed. Strain the cucumber juice of its seeds into a very large pitcher. Add the remaining water, lime juice, and sugar, to taste. Chill before serving.

Serves 4.
