Tender ice apple pieces floating in cold coconut water and milk make this Nungu juice unbelievably cooling after a sweaty day outdoors. The soft jelly-like texture and delicate sweetness turn it into a drink people crave every summer.
3 chopped nungu (ice apples) 1 cup chilled coconut water ½ cup chilled milk 2 tbsp sugar or honey Ice cubes as needed 1 tbsp soaked sabja seeds
Peel the nungu carefully and chop it into small, soft cubes that are easy to sip and chew.
Add chilled coconut water, milk, and sugar into a large jug, then stir until the sweetness dissolves fully.
Mix in soaked sabja seeds for extra cooling texture and a refreshing summer-style finish.
Add the chopped nungu along with ice cubes and stir gently so the fruit pieces stay soft and intact.
Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately before the drink loses its refreshing coldness.
