Peel the cucumber, cut it into 1-inch thick pieces and add to the blender with the rest of the ingredients

Also add in 1 large clove of garlic that´s been cut into 4 pieces

Using a large wooden spoon, push down on all the ingredients and compact them together, this will make it easier on the blender to bring all the ingredients together

Run the blender on a low speed for about 5 minutes
