EGYPTIAN COCONUT SMOOTHIE -SWEET SOBIA - A REFRESHING HYDRATING DRINK

                                     

WHILST out shopping a while ago, I came across a new drink here in Egypt SOBIA - A drink that can be found on street corners. This drink is a real thirst quencher, a refreshingly cold sweet drink when the days are hot and long. Children love the coconut taste. Its a good breakfast alternative and I have adapted it slightly by adding chopped nuts and raisens on top for an extra boost of nutrients.

PREPARATION

can start the night before

2 tbs dry, uncooked rice.

Place the rice in a blender and grind down until you have a fine poweder.

Add the cup of water and stir - place in a container and refrigerate overnight.

If making during the day - refrigerate for at least 6hrs

NEXT

1. 1/4 cup sugar- to your liking
2. 1/4 cup powdered milk.
3. 2 cup coconut milk.
4. 1/2 tsp vanilla essense

Place the rice water and the rest of the ingedients into your blend and blend until smooth

Take the Sobia and strain the blend through a coffee filter, tea strainer or linen cloth 

Pour into tall glasses - add some chopped nuts and raisens to top for decoration.

ENJOY AND HAPPY SMOOTHIE-ING
