FAQ:
Q: Do I have to peel the cucumber?
A: It’s optional! Keeping the peel adds extra nutrients, but peeling creates a lighter flavor and smoother texture.
Q: Can I use bottled lemon juice?
A: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is highly recommended for the best flavor and health benefits.
Q: Is it necessary to strain the lemonade?
A: Not at all! Straining is a personal preference — if you enjoy a pulpy texture, you can skip this step.
Q: How sweet should I make it?
A: Adjust the sweetness to your taste. You can even make it sugar-free if you prefer a more natural, tart flavor.
