½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
¼ cup cold water
1 pinch salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
2 cups sparkling water, chilled
1 cup ice cubes

For serving

2 thin cucumber slices, for garnish (optional)
2 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the chopped cucumber, mint leaves, honey, lime juice, cold water, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
2
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or large measuring cup, pressing on the solids with a spoon until only dry pulp remains. Discard the pulp. Let the strained juice rest for 5 minutes so any foam settles.
