Cucumber Limeade
Ingredients
- 350ml water*
- 1 cucumber
- 30g (2 tbsp) xylitol**
- 1 lime
- 1/8 tsp salt***
- 14 ice-cubes (a large handful!)
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber & remove any seeds before slicing into pieces (English cucumbers don't tend to have seeds!)
- Add the pieces of cucumber, water, sugar/xylitol, salt & the juice of the lime to a blender along with half of the ice-cubes
- Blend!
- Pour over the remaining ice-cubes in two glasses & serve immediately (if the drink starts to separate just give it a good mix with a spoon!)
Notes
*Can be filtered if necessary, I’ve seen water filters for sale in supermarkets as well as online from Amazon!
**Xylitol is a 100% natural sugar alternative that has fewer calories than sugar and is kind to teeth too!
***I use celtic sea salt because of it’s superior taste & mineral content in comparison to regular table salt.
