Lychee Drink"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"lassi\"My last visit to Santos Spice market<\/a> ended with us buying several “exotic” drinks to try.\u00a0 My oldest daughter loves trying new things, and while these weren’t cheap, they turned out to be very good.<\/p>\n

My daughter loves mango lassis, and Verka Mango Lassi<\/strong><\/a> is pretty good.\u00a0 It actually tasted more like a mango yogurt drink, though it doesn’t have any yogurt. The ingredients are milk, mango pure, sugar, cream and water. It comes in a 1 pint bottle.\u00a0 It’s made in the USA.<\/p>\n

\"passionfruit\"Mika was excited t try Coco Passion Fruit Drink<\/strong> because she’d never had passion fruit or passion fruit juice before.\u00a0 The drink, actually bottled in Thailand, is made of water, sugar, passion fruit juice, citric acid, artificial flavor, and gellam gum – so it’s not as pure as the lassi.\u00a0 Still, it was very tasty.\u00a0 Indeed, it tasted very much like guava juice, though it was thicker than the guava\u00a0 juice we usually get.<\/p>\n

\"lychee1\"We’ve never had lychee juice before, and T.A.S. Lychee Drink<\/strong> was sort of a revelation. It has the same flavor profile as guava juice but it’s sweeter, if you can imagine that, with a subtle floral\/rose-like flavor.\u00a0 We liked it, though I personally would have preferred it being less sweet.\u00a0 Mika thought it was refreshing. I’m thinking that I should explore lychees more.\u00a0 It seems like a sophisticated fruit that could enhance a multi-course menu.\u00a0\u00a0 The drink comes in a 10.5 oz can and it’s also made in Thailand. The ingredients are water, lychee juice, sugar and citric acid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
