Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Thoroughly wash the cucumbers.
Step 2:
Cut off the edges and, if there are any damaged places. Cut into large pieces.
Step 3:
Then put our cucumber slices in the juicer.
Step 4:
Squeeze the juice out of cucumbers.
Step 5:
Next, strain the juice through a sieve.
Step 6:
About half a liter of cucumber juice is obtained from one kilogram of cucumbers. And there is also cucumber cake.
Step 7:
The juice must be poured into the molds that you have for use in the freezer. And put it in the freezer for a few hours. We are waiting for our juice to freeze.
Step 8:
The cake can also be distributed in bags and put in the freezer. It can be used in winter for salads or added to smoothies.
Step 9:
Here is our cucumber juice frozen. We carefully take it out and distribute it into bags. And again we put it in the freezer until winter.
I really liked this recipe. Very simple and fast, unless of course you have a juicer. Of course, you can try to make it in a meat grinder or in a blender, but then you will have to filter and squeeze all the juice through cheesecloth. But this is also quite possible.
I don't really buy cucumbers in winter, because they are quite expensive and hothouse. And in the cold season, I miss cucumbers. But why wait until summer, if you can take cucumber juice and its cake and freeze it. Cucumber juice can be added to smoothies or green detox cocktails. Cake - either in smoothies, which will give them even more usefulness, or in salads, which will give them freshness and juiciness.
The juice can also be used for cosmetic purposes, for facial skin and for hair. After all, cucumber juice is not in vain included in many cosmetics.
Many underestimate the benefits of cucumbers, mistakenly believing that this vegetable mainly consists of water and has no special value. But this is not the case. It really consists of 95% water, but cucumber also has many useful properties. For example, this green vegetable removes toxins, helps get rid of heartburn, fills with vitamins and trace elements, helps to adjust the stool, normalizes blood pressure, cleanses the kidneys, lowers cholesterol, reduces the risk of cancer, and this is not the whole list of benefits. So be sure to freeze cucumber juice for the winter.
