Top tips
- Strain: If you don't mind the pulp, you don't need to strain it.
- Choosing cucumbers: English cucumbers have thinner skin, a milder flavor, and fewer seeds. Standard cucumbers are larger, but have harder seeds and a more bitter flavor.
- To peel or not to peel: If you can only find standard cucumbers, peel them and discard the seeds. If you're using English cucumbers, I don't think it's necessary to peel them. Standard cucumbers, however, have a more bitter skin, so I suggest peeling them.
Variations
You can use a combination of pineapple juice and lemon juice. It's lovely.
You can decorate with lime slices, starfruit slices, or orange slices. Or whatever you have at hand.
Add a few fresh mint leaves for a different and very refreshing taste.
