  • dash sea salt to taste
  • 3 limes juiced
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves

  • Peel and Puree the cucumbers.
  • Pour the puree through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a glass bowl to strain out any larger pieces, especially of the peel. This may take awhile to strain, so be patient and let it sit.
