Cucumber lemonade

If you are squeezing juice from a fresh lemon - use fruit at room temperature. When the walls of the juice capsules are cooled, they become dense, and the lemon gives off the juice worse.

Ingredients

• 100 g of granulated sugar;
• 2.5 large lemons;
• 200 g of cucumbers;
• fresh mint and basil leaves;

1. Leave half a lemon and 1 cucumber to decorate the lemonade. Cut the rest into large pieces and place in a blender bowl.
2. To sliced cucumbers and lemons add 4 mint leaves and basil, and add sugar.
3. Beat the ingredients at high speed until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a jug.
4. Dilute lemonade with carbonated water to taste.
5. Cucumber and lemon for decoration cut into pieces and add to lemonade.
