Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dragon fruit puree (pink)
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Hot water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the dragon fruit puree, coconut milk, and hot water. Stir well to mix.
Add the honey, grated ginger, cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously to dissolve the honey and fully incorporate the spices.
Let the mixture simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright citrus note.
Strain the mixture into a heat-safe pitcher or directly into your serving mugs to remove the cinnamon stick and any ginger fibers.
Serve the drink immediately while hot. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of dragon fruit on the rim of the mug.
