‘Otai (Coconut Watermelon Refresher)
Trying to keep up to D’s request for “refreshing drinks”, I have been on the lookout for a drink that was different. This landed me on ‘Otai, a Polynesian drink, from Tonga. The meaning of the word “Otai is “go-to-ocean”. For those who are looking for something different from the usual watermelon juice, you should give this a try. I got the recipe from Global Adventure.
