Homemade cucumber syrup: how to make cucumber syrup - recipe
Professional bartenders will not be surprised by cucumber syrup. This syrup is often used to prepare refreshing and tonic cocktails. Cucumber syrup has a neutral flavor and a pleasant green color, making it a good base for other fruits that are too strong in flavor and need to be diluted.
To prepare cucumber syrup you need:
- 0.5 kg of cucumbers;
- 0.5 kg sugar;
- 1 glass of water;
- Mint, lemon.
Make syrup from water and sugar.
While it is cooking, wash and dry the cucumbers. The peel can be peeled, but this is not necessary. The peel gives a brighter green color to the syrup.
Grind the cucumbers in a blender, or grate them.
Squeeze the juice from the lemon, tear the mint leaves with your hands and carefully combine all the ingredients with the boiling syrup.
Cucumbers should not be cooked for a long time; 2-3 minutes of boiling is enough.
Strain the syrup through a strainer and pour into a clean, dry bottle.
Homemade cucumber syrup is prepared without preservatives and has a very short shelf life. Even in the refrigerator, in a tightly closed bottle, you should not store the finished syrup for more than a month.
