Ingredients & Substitutions
Cucumbers are hydrating and low in calories, which makes them perfect for this drink. Fresh mint really elevates the flavor, but you can use dried mint in a pinch—just remember to use less since dried herbs are more concentrated. If you want to avoid sweeteners, you can try using ripe, sweet cucumbers instead.
