   How to prepare cucumber juice for the winter? Prepare fresh cucumbers. Choose elastic, large fruits without damage or rot. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly.

   Cut off the ends. Cut the cucumbers into large pieces.

   Extract the juice from the cucumbers.

6. STEP 6

   

   One kilogram of cucumbers yields about half a liter of cucumber juice. And there is also cucumber pulp left.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the juice into the molds you have for use in the freezer. Place the molds with the juice in the freezer for several hours.

8. STEP 8

   

   The cake can also be distributed into bags and placed in the freezer. It can be used in winter for salads or added to smoothies.

9. STEP 9

   

   Carefully remove the frozen cucumber juice from the molds, distribute into bags and return to the freezer for storage. Cucumber juice can be added to smoothies or green detox shakes. Bon appetit!

I accidentally saw that you can freeze cucumber juice for the winter. Moreover, green pieces of ice look so beautiful) For testing, I took three medium cucumbers and crushed them in a blender. Unfortunately, I don't have a juicer. I squeezed the juice through four layers of gauze, it turned out to be 350 ml. I put the pulp in a ziplock bag and froze it, I will use it as a face mask) And I poured the cucumber juice into ice cube trays and froze. The result was beautiful green ice with a distinct aroma of fresh cucumber! According to the author’s recommendation, I will use them in smoothies, and you can simply add them to summer lemonade. The result will be both cooling and interesting taste!

I don't like vegetable juices, so I don't make them. And then I came across this recipe for cucumber juice for the winter, with such bright and juicy photographs that I definitely wanted to try to make the same beauty. Since this was a kind of experiment for me, I took only one cucumber. The smell of cucumber juice was incomparable. Just for the sake of this smell of freshness and spring, you can make cucumber juice. The children, having learned about my plans to freeze the juice, wanted to try it. Therefore, for convenience, when the juice froze a little, I inserted toothpicks into two molds to make some kind of sweets on a stick. And I froze the cake in the shape of a Christmas tree. The guys ate the cucumber “sweets” with pleasure and asked for more. So I think this recipe will take root in our family. And I recommend it for cooking!
