Creating Cucumber Agua Fresca is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to make your drink:

1. Prepare Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice them into smaller pieces.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cucumber pieces, water, sugar, and lime juice (if using). Blend until smooth.
3. Strain Mixture: Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the blended mixture into a pitcher. This will remove any pulp and make your drink smooth.
4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the liquid and add more sugar as needed, stirring until fully dissolved.
5. Add Salt: Mix in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
6. Chill (Optional): If time allows, refrigerate the Agua Fresca for about 30 minutes to serve it cold.
7. Serve: Pour into glasses over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

These steps make it easy to whip up this incredible drink whenever the mood strikes!
