Cucumber Ice Cubes Recipe

Cucumber Ice Cubes

Cucumber ice cubes are the perfect summer refreshment. I grew some cucumbers in my garden this year and the plant took off like wildfire. I had so many cucumbers and ran out of pickle jars. I started making cucumber agua frescas which were so refreshing. I had some extra and decided to make some popsicles and ice cubes. The ice cubes turned out to be great. They made water more refreshing and added a great nuance of flavor to vodka cranberry cocktails.

Cucumber from my urban garden.

Cucumber ice cubes and popsicles are easy to make. Here's how:

Ingredients:
1 Large Cucumber
Water
1/4 cup sugar (more or less to taste)
Pinch of salt

You need:
Blender
Ice cube trays (or popsicle molds)

1. Peel and roughly chop a large cucumber into one inch pieces. It doesn't matter how they look, because it's going into the blender.

2. Add cucumber, sugar, salt to blender. Fill blender almost to top with water. Blend until smooth.

3. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. If you have popsicle molds, these are also a great summer treat for kids.

4. Serve with water or vodka cranberry cocktails.

Enjoy!
