REFRESHING ASIAN AVOCADO DRINK

Refreshing Asian Avocado Drink image

I first had this at an Indonesian restaurant.I love this drink because it's simple & inexpensive to make. You can also choose to have it sugar free- which I sometimes do & it's still delicious! =) Plus you can freeze any extra & bring them outdooors for a refreshing cool down! Tip:Store drink with a straw in a plastic bottle. Freeze. REmove from freezer 1.5 - 2 hours before consumption (depending on the weather!)

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 -3 ripe soft avocados
1 liter of hi-low milk (best choice is Marigold HL Milk. If you can't get this, try any Low lactose milk as this tends to ta)
10 teaspoons of gula melaka syrup (see note below) (optional)
10 -12 ice cubes

Steps:

Peel avocados. Cut into halves. Remove pits. Cut each half into sixes.
Blend avocado with milk till the bits of avocado are gone.
I use a tiny food processor, so I split the avocado & milk into 4 portions & blend. Tiresome, but it's better than blending all the avocado at once & whisking it by hand in a big jug with the remaining milk---too tiring!
Chill for at least 2 hours or pop in some ice cubes & let them bob for 5 minutes.
Swirl 2 teaspoonfuls (as desired) of gula melaka or coconut sugar syrup into each glass.
Drop in straws, stir & enjoy!
To serve as dessert: USe a thicker consistency by not adding ice. Chill for several hours. Serve in cute glasses, swirl coconut sugar syrup on top.
If gula melaka syrup is not readily available, get a chunk of gula melaka/coconut sugar & melt it over fire in some water to get the syrup.
Note: Gula is a Malay word for Sugar. Melaka is actually Malacca, a place in Malaysia. Gula Melaka is dark coocnut sugar & its syrup is made from melting this sugar in water over a slow fire. What you get is a dark, fragrant, heavy syrup.
