Tips:
- Use fresh cucumbers: Fresh cucumbers have a higher water content and will produce a more flavorful gelatin.
- Peel the cucumbers: Peeling the cucumbers will remove the waxy coating and make the gelatin smoother.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the cucumbers thinly.
- Chill the gelatin before serving: Chilling the gelatin will help it to set properly and make it more refreshing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the gelatin.
