Hello everyone, I haven't appeared on Amazing Drinks for a long time. Today I want to make a drink that is fresh and healthy.
Have you ever made food or drink from dragon fruit skin?
Usually dragon fruit skin becomes organic waste even though dragon fruit skin still has several good ingredients which are of course very beneficial for our bodies. Like the fruit, dragon fruit skin also has a high antioxidant content, vitamin C and several other benefits that are good for hydrating the skin and making the skin healthier.
As an example of processing dragon fruit skin, today I will share with you that processing dragon fruit skin into syrup is certainly healthier when we make it ourselves at home because there are no added artificial sweeteners or preservatives.
I will immediately show you the ingredients and how to make it. At the end of my article, I will also invite you to enjoy dragon fruit skin syrup. Let's start now.
Ingredients for syrup
• 50 grams of dragon fruit skin
• 100 grams of granulated sugar
• 100 ml water
• 1 pandan leaf (if you don't have pandan leaves you can use vanilla or you can skip this ingredient)
How to make
• First, wash the skin of the dragon fruit and then cut off the outer skin. Cut into smaller sizes.
• second, put the pieces of dragon fruit skin in a pan then add granulated sugar, pandan leaves and water
• cook until the sugar dissolves and thickens.
• After it thickens, we can transfer the syrup into a glass bottle/syrup bottle and store it in the refrigerator to extend the life of this syrup.
• Dragon fruit skin syrup is ready to be used as a drink, topping, etc.
After making the syrup, I will invite you to enjoy Dragon fruit skin syrup ice. It's very easy to make.
Ingredients for Dragon Fruit Skin Syrup Ice
Enough ice cubes
1 - 2 tablespoons dragon fruit skin syrup
¼ dragon fruit
100 ml water
Suggestions for serving Dragon Fruit Skin Syrup
• Prepare a glass then add ice cubes, dragon fruit peel syrup and fresh dragon fruit pieces, pour water.
• Dragon Fruit Syrup Ice is ready to be enjoyed.
That's one of the drinks that we can make using dragon fruit skin, which usually just ends up as waste, but we can process it and make it into a delicious and healthy drink/food.
Apart from being a syrup, we can also make jelly or even jam. For the taste, you don't need to worry because it still has a delicious taste like the fruit, only the skin is not too sweet, so for friends who like it sweet, you need to add sugar/honey when serving it or making the jam.
Good luck, I hope you like my writing. Thank you for the support my friends always give me. Gbu all
