The directions say to steep this for 7 minutes in cold water. I thought that couldn’t be right, so I steeped it with 200 degree water for five minutes. Yeah, maybe I should follow instructions. This turned out super sour, and it tasted like pickles. I drank it, but it was pretty gross. The second time, I steeped it in cold water like it said, and it did taste like cucumbers, but also like pickles. I always peel my cucumbers because I don’t like the skin, but I know lots of monsters leave the skin on, so maybe this is what it tastes like when you do that. This one is just too savory for me. I tried it a third time, and I’m still getting pickle, so I think that’s enough for me!

Wouldn’t be my thing, either. When I was growing up, both my parents and grandparents would maintain an ongoing plastic ice cream tub full of sliced cucumbers and onions in vinegar. Stunk up everything else in the fridge and permanently ruined cucumbers for me.

gmathis, my grandmother used to do that too! But I still love cucumbers ha ha.
Oh, I like those salads, but I couldn’t imagine having them constantly on hand!
