In food, as in life, there is seasonality. In winter, you want liquid, nourishing hot dishes and warm drinks, and in summer, on the contrary, even food should be cool. Cold soups are a category from the summer menu. And although no one forbids cooking okroshka in winter or autumn, we remember it most often in early June, and fresh cucumbers, which are an indispensable attribute and an important component of the recipe, are better to take ground. It is important that the refreshing properties of okroshka consist not only in serving cold, but also in the fact that the basis of the dish is sour or acidified liquid: kvass, kefir, whey, water with sour cream.
