CUCUMBER AGUA FRESCA WITH MINT AND GINGER
Light and refreshing with a slight bite from fresh ginger, this cooling cucumber drink is perfect on days when the warmth of the sun bakes everything in its path. A simple syrup of bruised mint and sugar adds sweetness. Agua fresca, a chilled nonalcoholic drink popular in Mexico and Central America, is most often made by blending fruit or soaked grains or by steeping plant blossoms in water. The mix is then strained, sweetened and served chilled. Enjoy this cucumber version as is, or add a splash of gin to turn it into a light aperitif or a delightful afternoon cocktail.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the mint leaves, sugar and salt, and crush them all together using a fork or the back of a wooden spoon just until the mint is bruised. Pour in the hot water, and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Allow the mixture to steep for 5 minutes while you prepare the cucumbers.
- Combine the cucumbers and ginger in a blender. Zest the lime right over the blender, then halve it and squeeze in its juice. Pour in 1 cup room-temperature water and purée on high until smooth. Pour the purée through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing lightly on the solids with a spatula to extract the liquid. Discard the solids and pour the agua fresca into a medium pitcher.
- Pour the mint syrup through the same strainer into a container, pressing on the leaves to extract the liquid. Add ¼ cup strained syrup to the agua fresca. Taste and add more syrup or more lime juice to taste. Cover any leftover syrup and refrigerate for another use.
- Fill glasses with ice, pour in the agua fresca, garnish with mint and serve immediately.
GINGER LIMEADE

Yield Makes about 5 cups, serving 4.
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- In a small saucepan stir together 2 cups of the water, the sugar, and the ginger, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer it for 3 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve set over a bowl and let it cool. In a pitcher combine the cooled syrup, the remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and the lime juice and stir the limeade well. Divide the limeade among the tall glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish each drink with a lime slice.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy limes: The quality of your limes will greatly impact the flavor of your limeade. Look for limes that are a deep green color and feel heavy for their size.
- Use freshly grated ginger: Freshly grated ginger adds a bright, spicy flavor to the limeade. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Chill the limeade before serving: Chilled limeade is more refreshing and flavorful. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Garnish with lime slices and cucumber slices: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your limeade.
- Add other fruits or herbs: You can add other fruits or herbs to your limeade to create different flavor combinations. Some popular additions include strawberries, blueberries, mint, and basil.
