Creating Cucumber Agua Fresca is simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Peel and chop the cucumbers into small pieces for easier blending.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add the chopped cucumbers, cup of water, lime juice, agave syrup or honey, and a pinch of salt.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove pulp.
5. Adjust Flavor: Taste the strained liquid. If you prefer it sweeter, add more agave syrup or honey as desired.
6. Dilute with Water: If the drink is too concentrated, slowly add more water until you reach your preferred consistency.
7. Chill: Refrigerate your agua fresca for about 30 minutes to cool it down, or serve immediately over ice.
