Cucumber Agua Fresca

1. Cut the cucumbers into chunks (persian cucumbers work best or even watermelon gherkins!)
2. Remove the peels from the limes leaving behind the whole fruit.
3. Blend together the cucumber chunks, lime, mint, sugar, honey, and 2 cups of water until smooth.
4. Pour through a mesh strainer to remove excess pulp.
5. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of water and serve over ice.
6. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
