Ingredients
- 1 cup baobab fruit pulp
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup evaporated milk or condensed milk
- ¼ cup sugar (adjust according to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vitamin C powder (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves
Method
- In a blender, combine the baobab fruit pulp and water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Place a strainer or cheesecloth over a pitcher or jug, and pour the blended mixture through it. This will help remove any pulp or seeds, resulting in a smoother juice.
- Add the evaporated milk or condensed milk to the pitcher, along with the sugar and vitamin C powder (if using). Stir well until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Refrigerate the bouye juice for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, give the juice a good stir before serving.
- Pour the juice into glasses filled with ice cubes.
- Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for added freshness and aroma.
- Serve the bouye juice immediately and enjoy its refreshing and creamy goodness.
