TONGAN OTAI (COCONUT WATERMELON DRINK) RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 seedless watermelon (about 5 cups mashed)
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 lime, juiced
shredded coconut, to taste

Steps:

  • Add watermelon flesh to a large bowl. Crush it, using a potato masher or by pulsing with a blender (regular or immersion). You want to leave it with some texture and body. In Tonga, this used to be done by grating the watermelon with something like a fork. When you get the texture to where you like it, stir in the coconut milk and fresh squeezed lime juice.

POLYNESIAN WATERMELON DRINK ('OTAI)



Polynesian Watermelon Drink ('Otai) image

''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.

  • My way. The lazy way. Add all the ingredients except simple syrup to a blender ad pulse until blended but still chunky - you don’t want a thin puree. This drink has texture to it.
