Instant Summer Mixer
- 6 ounces lime juice*
- 2 ounces ginger juice*
- 8 ounces cucumber juice*
- 3 ounces agave nectar or simple syrup
- 2 tablespoons basil, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon mint, thinly sliced
- Mix all ingredients well and pour into ice cube trays, stirring gently to distribute the herbs. Freeze until solid. Add cubes to glass (4 for a 8 oz glass of limeade, 2 with booze and a splash of fizz for a cocktail) and pour in liquid of choice (or dump the lot in a pitcher and mix for a crowd).
- * I tend to buy a large quantity of limes and juice them and freeze them. 6 ounces came from about 8 cubes. I use a juicer for the ginger, but when my juicer was not working, I chopped it finely in a food processor and squeezed it through cheesecloth. Some stores also sell bottled ginger juice. One large cucumber yielded about a cup of juice which I also did in a juicer- but you could blend/strain for the same results.
