In summer, you need plenty of fluids - most of which should be alcohol-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My homemade cucumber lemonade is fresh, quenching and highly addictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make a fairly large batch, you can make do with less. The following makes about 4-5 litres when served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cucumber lemonade is surprisingly full of flavour - and it's both refreshing and quenching<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 cucumbers
2 lemons (one for garnish, you can skip it...)
1 dl. bottled real lemon juice (or 3 more lemons)
4-5 mint stalks
2 dl. sugar
vand (2 dl + 5 dl)
possibly sparkling water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pour 2 dl sugar and 2 dl water into a small saucepan and boil until the sugar dissolves. Set aside (possibly cold)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wash cucumbers and lemons thoroughly. Preferably lemons that have not been sprayed.
Grate the zest of one lemon into a blender jar or food processor. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Add 1 dl of real lemon juice or the juice of 3 lemons (I'm lazy and cheap, lemon juice is easier and cheaper)
Remove the leaves from the mint stalks and add them.
Cut the cucumbers into large cubes and add them to the blender. I keep the peel on, it adds lots of flavour.
Add water almost until it covers (about \u00bd litre) - blend very thoroughly.
Pour it into another container through a sieve (let it drip for a few minutes). You can also use cheesecloth. Add the sugar syrup.
If necessary, let it cool down. But if you are very impatient, serve with more ice cubes \"\"\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving: Pour \u00bd dl. of the above into a glass, add 3-4 dl. water (possibly more, taste the first time until you know the flavour). I use sparkling water.
Add ice cubes and garnish with a lemon slice and some mint leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good friends have told me that the cucumber lemonade can be used with both gin and vodka - try it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Om sommeren skal der masser af v\u00e6ske til – det meste skal v\u00e6re uden alkohol. Min hjemmelavede agurkelimonade er frisk, l\u00e6skende og st\u00e6rkt vanedannende. Jeg laver en ret stor portion, du kan bare n\u00f8jes med mindre. Nedenst\u00e5ende bliver til ca. 4-5 liter, n\u00e5r det serveres. Agurkelimonade er overraskende fuld af smag – og den er b\u00e5de forfriskende og l\u00e6skende Ingredienser: 2 agurker2 citroner (den ene til pyntning, det kan springes over…)1 dl. \u00e6gte citronsaft p\u00e5 flaske (eller endnu 3 citroner)4-5 myntestilke2 dl. sukkervand (2 dl + 5 dl)evt. danskvand Fremgangsm\u00e5de: 2 dl sukker og 2 dl. vand h\u00e6ldes i en lille gryde og koger op, indtil sukkeret opl\u00f8ses. Stilles til side (evt. koldt) Agurker og citroner vaskes grundigt. Helst uspr\u00f8jtede citroner.Riv skallen af en citron ned i et blenderglas eller foodprocessor. Pres saften af citronen derned. Tils\u00e6t 1 dl \u00e6gte citronsaft eller saften af 3 citroner (jeg er simpelthen doven og n\u00e6rig, citronsaft er b\u00e5de nemmere og billigere)Tag bladene af myntestilkene og tils\u00e6t dem.Sk\u00e6r agurkerne i grove tern og h\u00e6ld dem i blenderen.
