- 2 cucumbers (ends trimmed, but peel still on, coarsely chopped)
- 120 ml lime juice from fresh limes
- 300 ml packed mint leaves (spearmint; woody stems removed)
- 120 ml sugar

- 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.
