LIMEADE INFUSED WITH STRAWBERRIES, CUCUMBER, AND MINT

My 6 year old nephew is visiting this week, and I was looking for alternatives to processed, store bought juices. I remember loving lemonade as a kid, so decided to make something in that range. I had quite a few limes in the house, so a limeade was going to be the choice. But since limes can be bitter, I decided to add strawberries, cucumbers, and a few mint leaves to both infuse and add flavors. The bitterness was dimmed, and it came out really good. I couldn't keep up with making batches fast enough,as even the adults were all drinking it. What we ended up doing was drinking the limeade and saving all the fruits. Then filling the jar with water to get a tasty infused water in between batches. Both were quite yummy!

LIMEADE INFUSED WITH STRAWBERRIES, CUCUMBER, AND MINT


Ingredients:

1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
5 cups of water
1/2 cup of agave nectar
4 large strawberries, sliced
1/2 of a small cucumber, sliced
8 mint leaves

Preparation:

Place all of the ingredients in a juice jar, mix well, and let them infuse in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving. Mix well before serving as the agave tends to go to the bottom.

Enjoy!

This will make 6 glasses of juice
