Comment préparer Cucumber Agua Fresca

Wash and peel 1 large cucumber (about 1 pound). Roughly chop and add to a blender.
Add 4 cups of water, ½ cup of sugar (or to taste), and the juice of 1 lime to the blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Line a fine-mesh sieve or colander with three layers of cheesecloth. Pour the blended mixture into the sieve and let it strain, pressing gently to extract all the liquid.
Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sugar or a pinch of salt, if desired.
Pour the strained Agua Fresca into a pitcher or dispenser. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve over ice. Garnish with thinly sliced cucumbers, lime wedges, fresh mint sprigs, or lavender flowers for an extra touch of elegance.
