Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 xoconostle cactus fruit
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 8 cups water

Instructions

  1. Clean the cactus fruit by removing outer skin and seeds
  2. Blend the cleaned cactus fruit with 4 cups of water and ½ cup sugar for 1 minute.
  3. After blending, strain the mixture to remove the pulp.
  4. Add the remaining 4 cups water and stir well.
  5. Serve over ice.

Notes

  • You don't need to add lime. The drink is already quite tart from the xoconostle.
  • Add more sugar is you prefer a sweeter drink.
  • Try preparing this drink with tunas, the sweet prickly pear cactus fruit.
