2 medium (400 g) cucumbers, preferably organic and unwaxed, washed well, with ends cut off and discarded
20 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons Simple Syrup
½ cup (120 ml) lime juice
3 cups (720 ml) plain seltzer

Juice your cucumbers, either in a juicer, or by grating them on a box grater on the side with the largest holes, and then straining the grated cucumber into a blender.
Add mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup. Blend for about 30 second on high until combined.
Divide between four glasses, add ice, top with seltzer.

If you want to try growing an herb in a pot, try mint! It is incredibly easy to grow and if you have it on hand you will think of many uses for it - for drinks as well as savory and sweet cooking.
