Time for a refresher! This Cucumber Chia Limeade from my book Aguas Frescas & Paletas will certainly hit the spot this holiday weekend. Make it for your family and stay cool!
Chop 1 ½ cucumbers into large pieces. Reserve the rest for garnish. Place 1 cup water, sugar and cucumber pieces in blender container. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to serving pitcher. Stir in lime juice, remaining 5 cups water and chia seeds. Using a peeler, make thin cucumber strips. Divide between serving glasses. Add ice before pouring. Garnish with lime slices and serve.
