Ingredients

Method
  • 5 large English cucumbers, trimmed and cut into small chunks
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup white-wine vinegar
  • Sea salt and coarse black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 bunch fresh mint, chopped, plus extra for garnishing
  • 10 ice cubes
  • 1 cup black olives, pitted

In a food processor, blend the cucumber, water and vinegar until smooth and thin enough to pour – add a little more water and vinegar if necessary. Season to taste, then add the lemon juice, chopped mint and ice cubes. Chill for 3 hours before serving. Serve topped with pitted olives and sprigs of mint.
