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.

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.
