Made yesterday and yum! I increased the sugar to 1 teaspoon and may go even a bit more on that the next time. I also peeled my cucumbers and cut them using a mandoline. So I would have some "kick" I added one dash of cayenne in addition to the hot pepper flakes, great! Thanks for posting, Baby Kato, this is a great recipe!

Yum! After 24 hours this was like a semi pickle cucumber and onions salad. I don't normally eat raw cumbers because my stomach gets upset, but I was able to eat this without a problem because the cucumber were "pickled" and the acids that make my tummy upset didn't affect me. My daughter loved the juice, even with the chilli (which is unusual for her). Thanks Baby Kato for a lovely recipe.

Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
