How to make Mean green cucumber juice

1) Peel the cucumbers, saving the peels. Grate cucumber flesh on a box grater.

3) In a blender, puree reserved cucumber peel and cucumber syrup until smooth.

4) Line a strainer with cheese cloth over a bowl. Strain cucumber mixture. Gather cheesecloth in 1 hand to squeeze out all of the juice. Chill until cool, about 1 hour.

5) Serve in glass.
