Ingredients
- Cucumber: Select a large, ripe English cucumber for this recipe.
- Strawberries: Choose ripe strawberries and wash and remove the stem before chopping.
- Mint leaves: Wash the mint leaves well to remove dirt. You can also remove the stem.
Tips and Substitutions
- Strawberries: Look for strawberries that are bright and vibrant in color and avoid strawberries that are unripe or discolored. Always use fresh strawberries for this recipe.
- Cucumber: Select a bright green, firm, and heavy cucumber. Give it a gentle squeeze to ensure no soft spots or bruises along the length of the vegetable. I opt for organic cucumbers for this recipe. However, if you can't find organic, peeling the cucumber is a good way to remove any trace pesticides on the skin.
- Mint: Mint leaves should be fragrant, hardy, and dark green. Avoid mint that's yellowing, old-looking or wilting. And give your leaves a good sniff. If they smell like mint, they're fresh. For a delicious twist, swap mint with basil leaves.
- Clean: Ultimately, washing your produce for this recipe is vital. Otherwise, any dirt on the surface of your strawberries, cucumber, or mint leaves will end up in your drink!
- Add-ins: For a citrusy flavor, add lemon slices or lime.
