Ingredients

1 lb of cucumbers , ends trimmed, but peel still on, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup lime juice from fresh limes

1 1/4 cup packed , woody stems removed

1/2 cup sugar

Approximately 1 1/4 cup of water

Directions

Put ingredients in blender, add enough water to fill 3/4 of blender. Hold the lid on the blender and purée until smooth.

Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the purée through it, pressing against the sieve with a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid out as possible.

Fill a large pitcher halfway with ice cubes. Add the juice. Serve with sprigs of mint and slices of lime.
