Glam By Amna: MAKING PINA COLADA AT HOME

These days the evenings are getting cooler and balmier.I love to feel the breeze tickling on my face(regardless of the fact that sometimes its the pedestal fan :P ).Sipping Pina colada and enjoying evening is my favorite pass time, since its easier to keep an eye on kids while they play.

So,here is my very own recipe for the yummiest pina colada ever.You don't have to use vodka or alcohal for it .

THINGS YOU NEED:

COCONUT MILK Two glass

MAKING COCONUT MILK AT HOME:

Take one coconut,cut into two pieces.Pour the water out.You can drink it too If you can get used to the taste.Slice one half and put it in the blender.For each cup of sliced coconut,add two cups of plain mineral or tap water.Blend and you will get coconut milk. Fresh and delicious.

If you don't want all this hassle you can just buy tin pack of coconut milk by Haleeb or any other brand.

PINEAPPLE JUICE One glass

I am using Nestle Fruita vitals Pineapple nectar,you can use any brand you like.Preferably unsweetened.

SUGAR Five Teaspoon

You can skip this if you like.Sugar adds extra flavor to the drink.

CRUSHED ICE Three cups

If your blender is heavy duty you can put in three cups of ice cubes directly with all the ingredients.

VANILLA ESSENCE four to seven drops

Pour all the ingredients in the blender and blend for a minute.This will mix all the ice and liquids well.Take two glasses and pour some crushed ice in the bottom before pouring out Pina colada. This is for added crunch and chill.Now,put in some fancy straw and serve.

SERVING TIP:

Add a teaspoon of crushed almonds to each glass to make the drink more nourishing and flavored.

Best when served chill is sooo true for this one.So make sure its ice cold when served.

This drink transports me to topical beaches.Just sit back, relax and close your eyes.Imagining yourself on a beach becomes very easy with a Pina Colada in your hand.
