Notes
- While you don't have to peel the cucumber, I do suggest it gives a lighter drink.
- Swap up the type of melon you use! Note that watermelon scores as higher histamine than other varieties on the SIGHI list.
- Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- melon scores 0, with a ? as a liberator and a note, 'Suspected occasional histamine liberator effects'. Only try if tolerated well.
