My Mom reminded me of this yesterday when I sent her pictures of the beautiful papaya I found at that Farmer’s Market. I’ll add the pic of the papaya I got at the end of this post. This is a lovely thick, icy, fruity, sweet, refreshing drink. In Aden it is sold in the markets on hot summer days. After a long day of fasting in Ramadan you’re body will welcome this with open arms. Just remember to make dua for me.
For two servings, you will need :
-
2 cups of ripe papaya
-
1 cup of whole creamy milk
-
2 scoops of plain vanilla ice cream
-
4 tablespoons of Vimto
Blend the papaya unit it is smooth, you can add a little water or preferably ice cubes to this while you are blending it. But make sure it is smooth. Now you are ready to assemble. Take a glass pour 1 tablespoon of Vimto and swirl it around, then spoon half a cup of papaya and pour 1/4 cup of milk , then spoon the another half cup of papaya and a 1/4 cup of milk. Then add 1 more tablespoon of Vimto on top. Take a straw and swirl the mixture around gently. Add the scoop of ice cream and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Wa Alaikum Assalaam Br. Ziad,
Look for some concentrated berry drinks–raspberry, blueberry, strawberry and then try them out and see which one you like.
Afwan.
