How to Make Mean Green Cucumber Juice
- Peel 4 large cucumbers, reserving the peels for later.
- Grate the peeled cucumber flesh.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the grated cucumber to the saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cucumber is tender.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a blender, combine the reserved cucumber peels and the cooled cucumber syrup. Blend until completely smooth.
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth over a large bowl.
- Pour the blended cucumber mixture into the strainer.
- Gather the cheesecloth and gently squeeze to extract as much juice as possible.
- Refrigerate the juice for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
- Serve chilled over crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge (optional).
