Hi awesome drinks community, it's been a month since this community was founded we have explored some great posts from all of you. Drinks in the world really vary, from sweet, plain, sour drinks, all of which have flavors that can be accepted by each of your tongues. Not only these flavored drinks, of course we also have various kinds of tea or coffee and even syrup made from natural ingredients which are owned by each country.
Living in a tropical country and close to the ocean, of course having coconut that can be processed into coconut milk is the biggest gift in my life. As you know, the abundance of coconuts in Asia cannot be denied. One of them is my country, so a variety of foods made from coconut are a mainstay in my country. Not only food, processed drinks from coconut milk what is the most favorite every day. Especially those of you who are used to having a vegan lifestyle, of course you keep away from animal products, right? However, with the presence of coconut milk, as well as milk derived from other plants, it becomes an alternative to enjoy drinks or foods made from milk.

50 grams Brown sugar
After seeing the picture above and some of the ingredients I prepared, of course you ask what this drink is, and how does it taste? Answering that question, this drink is one of the best drinks that combines cucumber with coconut milk. I know, many people in my area are very surprised to see this, and maybe they will wonder about the taste that this drink produces.
In the area of the island of Java, this drink is very popular and even becomes a refreshing vegan drink. Cucumber grass jelly ice is a drink that combines cucumber and grass jelly with the addition of coconut milk in it. If previously I made a mixture of cucumber ice with a combination of coconut milk, but this time I will make it with a different variant, of course, without any additional sweeteners. Now a significant difference can be seen from the use of cucumber, if the previous recipe did not use all parts of the cucumber. But this time I will use a whole cucumber.
The natural sweetness of palm sugar and the chewy texture of grass jelly like jelly are always the best mainstay in drinks. It even has properties that are quite good for your body's digestion, so don't be afraid to try drinks that always add grass jelly in it. The taste is also very interesting, naturally sweet from palm sugar, and savory from coconut milk, this blend is very interesting. Even the grass jelly and cucumber flavors provide the best aroma and texture of this drink.
Steps To Prepare
In the following I will invite you to prepare a few steps in preparing grass jelly cucumber ice
Step 1
Cut Cucumber
The first time I prepared the cucumber, now I don't peel the cucumber, I just split it into two parts lengthwise and then I shaved it with a jelly grater.
Step 2
Cut grass jelly
Cut the grass jelly in the shape of a box or lengthwise according to your taste, don't forget to wash it with clean water after cutting it.
Step 3
Dissolve brown sugar
Slice the brown sugar into small pieces then cook the brown sugar with a little water, mine is 1 cup of water, then I cook it until the sugar thickens.
Step 4
Cook Coconut Milk
Cook coconut milk over medium heat, add 1 pandan leaf and a teaspoon of vanilla powder and also a pinch of salt. Cook until the coconut milk boils, it's a sign that the coconut milk is cooked.
Step 5
Mix All The Ingredients
After everything is prepared it's time to mix all the ingredients in one glass, here I get 2 to 3 servings of this drink. First, add the cucumber, then followed by the ice cubes, then the liquid brown sugar, then the minced meat, finally add enough coconut milk that has been cooked.
Now the drink is ready to be served to your family, the best taste of all the ingredients makes this drink the best for today.

I loved your drink, it looks very tasty and refreshing, plus it is a very healthy option. I usually enjoy salads with cucumber and yogurt, now reading your recipe I have another different way to prepare a recipe that brings so many benefits... Thank you very much for sharing, your pictures are very beautiful! @nurfay
Yes, cucumbers are great in salads, but they're also great in a refreshing drink like this one. The combination of some of these ingredients will surprise you.
This really appeals to me. I would love to try grass jelly again. I must have had it when I was 3 or 4 years old and still living in Thailand. I feel like I remember it. We don't have it here and it makes me sad. Thanks for sharing this.
It's been a long time, I think you should try again at a later date.
Thank you for dropping by
