Light, crisp and cool, with fresh cucumber, tart apple and a clear mint finish.
Cucumber consists mostly of water and has a clean, mild flavour, which makes it an ideal base for refreshing smoothies. A green apple adds crisp acidity, fibre and a little natural sweetness. Peppermint tea instead of water brings a cooling herbal note without sugar or caffeine. The drink is very low in calories and works almost like a spa water with more body. It fits hot summer afternoons or a light start to the day.
