Cucumbers are cheap at the moment - I picked up a bag of 5 big Lebanese cucumbers for $2 then spent the evening trawling the internet for things to do with them. You would be amazed at the options so expect a few recipes from me in this regard
Cucumber Lemon Spritzer from
this site.This is my conversion for the TMX
80g sugar
130g ice
200g peeled cucumber chunks
100g lemon (ends removed and cut in half)
1/2 tspn fresh ginger (from a jar works OK too)
700 mls mineral water or sparkling water.
Blitz the sugar 5 sec/speed 9.
Add the ice, blitz 5 sec /speed 10.
Add the cucumber, lemon, ginger & 200mls of the mineral water.
Set the lid to closed lid position and pulse 4 times.
Strain through a
fine sieve into a jug and top up with the remaining 500mls mineral water.
