Watermelon Mango Sago Drink
A refreshing, fruity drink featuring chewy sago pearls, perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
For the Sago
- 1 cup sago pearls Cooked until mostly translucent and rinsed
- 5 cups water For boiling the sago
For the Mango Layer
- 1 large ripe mango Peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup milk or coconut milk For blending with mango
For the Watermelon Layer
- 4 cups watermelon Seeded and blended until smooth
Optional Sweetener
- to taste condensed milk or honey For added sweetness if needed
Instructions
Cook the Sago
- Boil water in a pot, add sago, and stir immediately to prevent sticking.
- Cook until most pearls are translucent, then turn off the heat and cover for a few minutes.
- Rinse under cold water until the pearls are cool and not sticky.
Blend the Fruit Layers
- Blend the diced mango with a splash of milk or coconut milk until smooth.
- Blend the watermelon separately until smooth.
Build Your Glass
- Spoon in the cooked sago into a glass.
- Add a layer of the mango blend followed by the watermelon blend. Alternatively, swirl them together for a marbled effect.
Chill and Serve
- Chill the prepared drink for 20 to 30 minutes to serve cold.
Notes
Use ripe mango and sweet watermelon for the best flavor. Rinse sago to avoid clumping and add a pinch of salt to the mango blend to enhance sweetness.
