🛒 Ingredients:

- 3–4 lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice)
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cold water (plus extra if needed)

- In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, lemon juice, honey (or syrup), and cold water.

2️⃣ Strain (Optional):
- If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.
(If you like it pulpy and full of fiber, no need to strain!)
3️⃣ Add Ice:

- Pulse a few times to chill and lightly crush the ice.
4️⃣ Taste and Adjust:
- Taste and add more honey or lemon if needed.
