Turn fresh rosemary, cucumbers and lemons into a refreshing cooler to stay hydrated on a hot day.
INGREDIENTS:
3 large cucumbers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus 4 sprigs for garnish
1 cup water
½ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons agave syrup*
Ice
METHOD:
Cut 12 thin slices of cucumber for garnish and set aside.
Peel and chop the rest of the cucumbers and transfer the chunks to the jar of a food processor. Add rosemary and process until cucumbers are liquified.
Pour the cucumber mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large measuring cup Press on the solids to extract all the juice.
Add water, lemon juice, and agave syrup to the cucumber juice; stir until the agave is dissolved.
Divide among 4 ice-filled glasses. Garnish with cucumber slices and rosemary sprigs.
* Agave syrup or nectar is the naturally sweet juice extracted from the agave plant. If using sugar, you’ll need to add a bit more for the same sweetness.
