Cucumber-Mint Refresher

1.Begin by preparing your ingredients. Halve and scoop out the flesh of the feijoa, peel the cucumber (1), and peel the lime (½).

2.Place the feijoa, cucumber (1), lime (½), and fresh mint leaves (¼ cup) into a blender.

3.Add 1 cup of cold water (1 cup) to the blender to help with blending and to create a smooth juice consistency.

4.Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

5.Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove any pulp, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.

6.Discard the pulp and pour the strained juice into a serving pitcher.

7.Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the juice, or serve immediately over ice in individual glasses.

8.Garnish with additional mint leaves or a slice of lime (½) if desired, and enjoy your refreshing Cucumber (1)-Mint Refresher.
