Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber
• 2 ripe tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon mint paste (or a handful of fresh mint leaves)
• Juice of 2 lemons
• Ice cubes
• Salt to taste

1. Peel the cucumber and chop it into small pieces. Similarly, chop the tomatoes.
2. In a blender, add the cucumber, tomatoes, mint paste (or fresh mint leaves), lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a handful of ice cubes.
3. Blend everything together until smooth. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.

This drink is perfect for hot summer days, as it’s refreshing and packed with flavors from the cucumber, mint, tomato, and lemon. Cheers!
