Ingredients
- I LOVE THIS DRINK BECAUSE IT'S CRISP WITH A COOLING GREEN COLOR AND IS MILDLY SWEET

Instructions
- PUREE THE APPLE, MINT AND CUCUMBER IN A FOOD PROCESSOR. ADD ONE AND A HALF CUPS OF CHILLED WATER AND PUREE AGAIN. STRAIN THROUGH A FINE SIEVE. USE THE BACK OF A SPOON TO PRESS DOWN AGAINST THE PULP TO EXTRACT ALL THE JUICE. DISCARD THE PULP.
