Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup peeled and diced cucumbers
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 5 tablespoons Green Coffee Bean Powder*
• Juice of 15 fresh squeezed limes (about 1 1/2 cup lime juice)**
• 2 cups white grape juice
• 8 cups cold filtered water

Directions

• Add 1 cup of peeled and diced cucumbers and 1/2 cup of finely chopped mint leaves into 3 cups of water. Store in a lidded container and place in the fridge (this can be done up to 24 hours ahead of time- the longer the water mixes with the cucumber and mint, the better.)
• Add 1/2 cup of sugar (or sugar substitute) and five tablespoons of green coffee extract** to 1 cup of boiling water to create a simple syrup. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Drain the cucumber/mint water over a strainer, saving the water. (The cucumber/mint mixture can be discarded or used as a garnish.) Add the cucumber/mint water into a large pitcher, add the simple syrup and the juice of about 15 limes**
• Add the white grape juice and an additional 8 cups of cold water and stir well. Serve immediately over ice or let the mixture sit in the fridge so the flavors all mix.
