PRESENTATION

Tips

It is recommended to serve in the copper mug, as copper is an excellent conductor and allows the container to cool quickly so that the drink is very cold when tasted.

And the cucumber? In the codified recipe found on the IBA website, cucumber is not mentioned. However, for a while - and it still happens today - cucumber has always been added as a garnish.
