- In the vegetable garden, choose a cucumber plant that is just starting to grow, and is thin enough to fit through the neck of the bottle. Then, carefully place the cucumber inside the dry bottle without damaging it. ≈ 3 min
- Place the bottle in a hole in the ground and cover it to prevent direct sunlight from heating it and damaging the vegetable. ≈ 3 min
- Allow the cucumber to grow in the bottle until it reaches the desired size. ≈ 3 min
- Cut the stem, then fill the bottle with brandy or sweet anise liqueur. Let it macerate for a few weeks before serving in small glasses.
