When it’s 106 degrees outside.

My neighbor gave me this recipe the other day when we traded vegetables from our gardens. He traded me cucumbers and limes for tomatoes and peppers. Worked out great. Anyhow, I finally made it today and it’s pretty good. Would probably be good with vodka too.

Lime Cucumber Aqua Fresca

3 peeled cucumbers
10 Mexican limes, juiced

In a blender, add peeled cucumbers and lime juice. Add 1 cup of water and blend. Strain out pulp and let liquid run into a gallon pitcher. (You could probably keep the pulp if you want.) Add water and sugar to taste. Serve cold or over ice. Recipe says 1 cup of sugar to 1 gallon of water, but I added much less sugar and it still tastes fine.
