How to Make Chilled Cucumber Mash

Step 1: Place the cucumber, basil, lime juice, and water into a blender and blend well.

I used fresh purple basil in this recipe – it’s beautiful and fragrant!

Step 2: Squeeze the liquid out of the puree (use a strainer). Mix the sesame oil, garlic powder, and salt into the cucumber mash.

Uses for the liquid: Drink it as a nice refreshing juice or use it to make ice cubes – see this recipe.
