Everyone has a glass of pickles in their fridge.
They are a low calorie snack, hangover remedy, and delicious.
But the water is often thrown away.
Pickled cucumbers or gherkins can be found in every household.
The spicy gherkins are processed in salads, served with sandwiches and used for various other dishes.
The brew in which the pickles are placed is usually neglected and thrown away as soon as the glass is empty.
This is a
big mistake
that you shouldn't make again in the future.
You can continue to use the cucumber water for pickling
If you have eaten the cucumber from the jar, just leave the stock in it.

Put carrot sticks in it or leftover cloves of garlic.
You can also steep boiled and peeled eggs, green beans, and much more in it.
Get creative or just cut up a regular cucumber, scrape off the soft stones and place the slices in the glass.
You will be rewarded with a new, crunchy, tangy snack.
