Lemongrass Flavored Passion Fruit Juice

~ Sophie ~ 11 Comments

It dawned on me recently that way before strainers were introduced in the country, we (our ancestors, rather) still enjoyed passion fruit juice and even knew how to flavor it. Isn’t that amazing? It all happened when we had visitors and had to, well, be hospitable by offering juice and just at that moment electricity decided to leave, a common phenomenon. Anyway we (I) were frustrated and dear mother asked me to go ahead and cut the passion fruits in half, and then with fresh lemon grass, she did her magic and in less than 15 minutes, guest were happily sipping on juice! You guys, it is so aromatic you have to try it. Another great fact about this juice is that it will relax and calm you down.

Papaya Slushie

~ Sophie ~ 4 Comments

Hi guys! Don’t you just love sunny weather (since we get it all year round here)? But sometimes, it gets sticky (-ishly) hot and all you want to do is just take a cold drink, or anything cold. I mean who doesn’t love a cold glass of water, frozen fruit drink, an iced tea or even a slushie?! So I was thinking we could make a frozen drink since we had juice in the freezer. And a recipe was born.
What you’ll need:

  • I litre frozen papaya juice (or any juice/blended fruit)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • A fruit for garnishing (I used Watermelon)

Method

  1. First crush the frozen juice to small pieces
  2. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend (if more water is needed, add so)
  3. Garnish with a favorite fruit
  4. Serve


See, I told you it was easy!

Have a great week!
