CUCUMBER JUICE

Honestly, I have never had cucumber juice before. I like eating cucumber on its own or as complement to other dishes because cucumber is just so refreshing. Most Indonesian foods are spicy and cucumber is always use to “cool down” the heat we get from chili. The other day I saw Sunny Anderson from Food Network making this cucumber juice and I thought…hmm….it looks great and I have some cucumbers overload in the fridge too. She’s talking about how much she was impressed by the juice. She first had it at the restaurant and have been obsessed trying to make it on her own. She finally succeeded. Thank god she did because this juice is so refreshing in this hot summer weather.
