Cucumber And Mint lemonade
Homemade lemonade bears very little resemblance to the commercially produced stuff; it is less sweet and cloying and therefore much more refreshing on a hot summer’s day. Adding the cucumber and mint makes it even more delicious and adds an extra handful of vitamins and minerals, making it the perfect way to keep everyone hydrated.

Instructions
Step 1
Put the lemon juice, sliced cucumbers and mint leaves into a blender and blitz until smooth, adding a little water if necessary. Once smooth, pour the liquid through a sieve or muslin into a large jug, pressing the pulp with the back of a clean spoon to get as much liquid out as possible.
Step 2
Taste the liquid and sweeten as necessary, stirring in the agave syrup a little at a time. Add a couple of handfuls of ice and top up with very cold soda water until the desired dilution is reached (aim for roughly 1 part lemonade to 1 part water).
Step 3
Serve chilled, with lots of ice, a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint in each glass.
