Vaimeleni - Samoan Watermelon Drink image

The recipe calls for all ingredients to be fresh, like making your own coconut milk - very time consuming and fresh coconuts are hard to come by. Posted for ZWT 7 and sourced from http://panipopos.blogspot.com

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 litres

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium watermelon
50 g coconut, grated
500 ml coconut milk
1 liter water
4 tablespoons lemon juice
500 g crushed pineapple
sugar (to taste)
ice cube, for serving

Steps:

  • Use a fork or spoon to scrape out the watermelon flesh into a large bowl. Catch the juice too, so you end up with a chunky kind of slush. Remove seeds with a spoon.
  • Add everything else, except for the sugar and ice, and mix well. As with the vaifala, mix and taste, dilute and sweeten, until you have the taste you like.
  • Chill and serve over ice, in a tall glass with a spoon. And be sure to stir it well before you present it, just so the fruit is well-distributed and the coconut milk is incorporated.
