Cucumber Lemonade – Healthy Summer Drink

Cucumber Lemonade: Cucumber, Lemon, Soda & Salt. Easy, Huh! Well, yes and cooler than classic lemonade.

The weather is unpredictable this year, and summer is pretty punishing.🌞 Wearing a thin sleeveless t-shirt or shorts is not enough to keep us cool🥵🥵. Hence, to do that, there is one thing we scream for…

Of course, the aircon is cooling enough. But how long will you keep it on for the whole day and be lazy? Besides, it certainly doesn’t cool you inside. On the other hand, ice-creams can be a cool-cool option, provided it doesn’t bulk your tummy.

Thus, lemonade is your next best option. However, we are taking this awesomeness a step further. That is, by adding cucumber to it.

Mint tastes sweet & produces an excellent lingering effect on the tongue.
