Cucumber is such a cooling and healing fruit. This drink is just the ticket if you’re wanting to treat your body kindly, and it has the added bonus of feeling a bit treaty. Especially if you serve it in a cocktail glass!

Ingredients:

1/2 telegraph cucumber
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp sugar
Fizzy water

Method:

First peel your cucumber.
Then take a teaspooon and scrape the seeds out of the middle. Slice into chunks.
Put the cucumber chunks, lemon juice and sugar into a blender and blitz until liquid.
Half fill your glass then top up with fizzy water.
Garnish the edge of the glass with a slice of cucumber.

Enjoy!
