A Jamaican recipe made by Sunny Anderson on Cooking for Real. Sunny also said that she has added vodka to this beautiful, bright green juice for a wonderful adult cocktail. Ingredients:
2 english cucumbers |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 cups water |
lime wedge (garnish) |
vodka (optional) |
Directions:
1. Peel the cucumbers, placing the peels in the blender for later use.
2. Grate cucumber flesh.
3. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil.
4. When sugar dissolves, add the grated cucumber and simmer until cucumber is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. In a blender, puree reserved cucumber peel and cucumber syrup until smooth.
6. Line a strainer with cheese cloth over a bowl. Strain cucumber mixture.
7. Gather cheesecloth in 1 hand to squeeze out all of the juice.
8. Chill until cool, about 1 hour.
9. Serve in glasses over crushed ice.
