Tomato-cucumber juice
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Overripe cucumbers and tomatoes that are unsuitable for canning but not spoiled can be used for making the juice. If you don't have a juicer, you can grate the cucumbers on a fine grater, blend the tomatoes in a blender, and then squeeze out the juice. Store the juice in a dry, cold, dark place.
