What better way to celebrate than with making the delicious traditional Tongan drink...Otai.
This is the recipe we followed:
- 1 seedless watermelon grated
- 3 cups water
- 1 15.25 oz can crushed pineapple
- 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp white sugar (optional) or to taste
- 1/2 lime juiced
It was a bit tricky trying to get all the seeds out of the watermelon!
Lots of grating!
Lots of fun and joking around!
Pouring, combining, mixing...
...And of course our favourite part...drinking it at the end!
yes i remember that drinking the otai that was yummy
