1 litre cold drinking water: 300 ml for mixing and 700 ml to finish
40 g sugar
2 ml food-grade vanilla extract

Preparation

Choose food-grade baobab fruit pulp powder without seeds or shell. Check packaging, date and storage. Prepare clean bowl, whisk, fine sieve and food bottle.

Gradually mix 60 g pulp with 300 ml water, whisking out lumps. Hydrate about 10 minutes in refrigerator.

Add remaining 700 ml water, sugar and vanilla. Stir until sugar dissolves then filter into clean container to remove coarse fibres. Perfect clarity is not needed.

Transfer to clean bottle, close and refrigerate about 30 minutes at 4 °C or below. This is a fresh non-fermented drink without milk or alcohol.

Shake or stir and divide into 4 glasses about 250–270 ml depending on filtering. Reference: 15 preparation, no cooking, 10 hydration and 30 chilling, total 55 minutes. Fine natural sediment may form.
