Independence Month!
Again we meet the sour sop. Earlier in the month I used this
fruit to make the sticky glaze for some doughnuts. Now I’m going to show you a simple
and refreshing drink.
I know you must be wondering, how is this a twist? Traditionally Sour sop is blended with milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and sugar; basically a sour sop milk shake. This recipe only adds sugar, limes and water. Its kind of like a sour sop limeade, and you all know how much I love a good 'ade'.

For me the traditional method is not a refreshing drink. Its
too sweet and thick as if im drinking a dessert. I prefer refreshing drinks.
And the addition of lime and water to the mix helps to tone down the milkshake
qualities sour sop inherently has. Its still a thicker drink, but totally
refreshing.
This method is not novel but its very uncommon. So there’s
the twist!
Makes a jug and a half of juice
3 cups sour sop
1.5 cups sugar
7 limes (juice)
6 cups water
Instructions
- Peel your sour sop and remove all the seeds

- Pour this smooth liquid into a fresh bowl and repeat the process for the other half of pulp
