Method

5 steps · 5 minutes

Blend the cucumber with the water until smooth, skin and all — the skin is where most of the color is.
Pour it through a strainer, pressing the pulp with the back of a spoon.
Stir in the salt until it has completely dissolved. Undissolved salt settles and the last mouthful is undrinkable.
Bruise the mint between your palms and drop it in with the lime juice.
Chill 10 minutes and drink cold. Made the night before it goes bitter, so this is one to make fresh.
