POLYNESIAN WATERMELON DRINK ('OTAI)
''Otai' is a fruit drink which originated in Tonga and is usually made as a summertime refreshment. It is a blend of water, coconut milk, and any variety of pulped tropical fruit such as coconut, watermelon, mango, and pineapple but is almost always watermelon as it is plentiful in Tonga. A small amount of sugar may be added, although the recipe is considerably sweet on its own. I lived in Sydney many moons ago and the Polynesian families drank this by the gallons in the summer. Soooo refreshing and yummy! Serve over ice cubes.

WATERMELON REFRESHER
A nice semi-sweet watermelon drink that has about 1-2 servings of fruit. Great for kids! It has the white seeds & is a little bit pulpy so if you prefer to have it pulp- & seed-free, strain it. Yummy!!
