Chef's Tips
- Chill Ingredients: For an extra refreshing drink, chill the cucumber and lime before blending.
- Variations: Add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy version.
- Herb Options: Substitute mint with basil for a different flavor profile.
- Sweetener Alternatives: Use agave syrup or stevia instead of honey for a vegan option.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
