Honey cucumber is learned from "Marx's Home Cooking". Made a few changes.
Cucumber, originally called Courgette, was a variety brought back by Zhang Qian after his envoy to the Western Han Dynasty. Cantonese people call cucumbers "cucumbers" because of its greenish-green color. Chua Lam once wrote an article "Cucumbers", introducing various ways to eat cucumbers in China and abroad.
The nutritional value of cucumber is very high, containing vitamin C, carotene and so on. In particular, the propylene glycol contained in cucumbers can inhibit the conversion of sugars into fat. Chua Lam’s book writes: “Cut a few pieces and stick them on the face, which is more effective than the SKII mask.” Of course, Chua Lam is a man and doesn’t know enough about the dangers of self-made facial masks.
If you don't make a facial mask, cucumber is suitable for summer as a "good for weight loss and beauty".
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that the main functions of honey are: "Long serving makes people lustrous, good color, and not old."
This honey cucumber, combining the advantages of honey and cucumber, is a beauty dish not to be missed.

Tips:

It should be noted that too high temperature will destroy the nutrients in the honey. When putting the honey at the end, you need to wait for the temperature of the pot to drop. The changes to the original recipe are here.
