Instructions
- Cut the ripe jackfruit into quarters, remove the skin and seeds, then keep only the yellow, fragrant flesh.
- Steam the flesh for 10 minutes until it is very tender.
- Let it cool completely, then blend it with the sugar, coconut milk and water until smooth.
- Taste, add a pinch of salt and the vanilla if you like, then blend again.
- Pass through a fine sieve if you want a finer juice, then serve very cold with ice cubes.
Variations and tips
No-cook version. If the jackfruit is very ripe, you can blend it raw, but the flavour will be slightly less mellow.
