Cucumbers

• 4 of the best Lebanese cucumbers you can find
• 10 cucumber flowers
• 50 ml (1¾

Start by peeling the cucumbers, then use an apple corer to remove the cucumber seeds. (Save the peelings to make burnt cucumber dressing.)

Take the outer flesh rings and slice into 1 cm (½ in) thick pieces. Dress the cucumber slices and flowers with the gin and leave in the fridge until needed.
