Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The summer is coming on strong and that means lemonade, lemonade, lemonade. Yesterday I gave a recipe for the rather interesting Hickory Smoked Cherry and Bourbon Lemonade, and here's another lemonade concoction, from Eating Well. This one utilizes cucumbers! English hothouse cucumbers, to be exact. Recipe after the jump.
Cucumber Lemonade
2 English (hothouse) cucumbers
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups spring or filtered water
1 Simple Syrup or agave syrup
Finely grate cucumbers into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Drain the cucumber for 1 hour and collect the juices. Press on the cucumber pulp to extract any additional juice. Add lemon juice, water and syrup, if using, to the cucumber juice. Serve chilled or over ice.

4 cukes
4 limes
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
I juiced the limes, grated the cukes finely and drained them with a mesh colander, and reserved the juices. In a pot I brought the water and sugars to a boil, then cooled that in the fridge. Mixed together, served over ice, very cooling. My friend enjoyed it shaken with ice and rum.
