1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Cut off both ends and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
2
Make Cucumber Puree
In a blender, add the sliced cucumber and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth to create a cucumber puree.
3
Strain the Cucumber Puree
Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the cucumber puree into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. Press down to extract as much juice as possible.
4
Combine Ingredients
In the same bowl or pitcher, add the lemon juice, sugar, remaining 3 cups of water, and mint leaves. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

5
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill. When ready to serve, pour the Cucumber Cooler into glasses filled with ice.
6
Garnish
Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs as desired.
