Cucumber Lime cubes

Cool, crisp, and ready in 5 minutes

These cucumber lime cubes bring instant spa-like refreshment to your water or drinks. The cucumber is hydrating and mild, the lime adds brightness and zing.

What you need

• 1 cucumber (organic if possible)
• 2 limes (juice + zest)
• 1/2 cup water
• Optional: fresh mint leaves

How to make it

1. Wash the cucumber (no need to peel if organic)
2. Roughly chop the cucumber
3. Juice the limes and add zest
4. Blend cucumber, lime juice, zest, and water until smooth
5. Add mint if using
6. Pour into ice cube trays
7. Freeze for at least 4 hours

Why this works

No cooking, no added anything. Just pure, clean flavor. Drop a cube into sparkling water for instant spa water, or add to gin and tonic for a fresh twist.

Practical tip: Use organic cucumber so you can keep the peel on - it adds color and nutrients. If your cucumber has large seeds, scoop them out before blending for a smoother texture.
