The cucumber vine in the greenhouse has gone mad: every day there are two or three more on it. There being only so much tsatziki or Greek salad one can eat, I've started turning them into cucumber vodka:
Peel two large cukes (or don't if you want an attractive green colour to the vodka for cocktails). Slice in half and remove the seeds. Chop into 1 inch chunks and fill a large clean jar. Cover with vodka and leave in a dark cupboard for five days. Strain with a coffee filter and bottle.
For cocktails, you could just add it it to Pimm's, however I'm experimenting with lychee and rose martinis. Or just on its own, from the freezer.
Nice blog!!
