Homemade Refreshing & Sweet Hallabong Ade
Make Your Own Delicious Hallabong Syrup! The Perfect Homemade Cafe Drink Recipe (Includes Tips for Using the Peel)
With hallabong fruit in season and tasting its best, I decided to make a homemade hallabong syrup! You can easily enjoy a refreshing and sweet ade at home with this syrup. Let’s make a special home cafe experience. I’ll even share how to use the leftover peel!
Ingredients for Hallabong Syrup- 600g fresh Hallabong pulp
- Baking soda for thorough cleaning
- 600g sugar (equal weight to hallabong)
- Sparkling water, chilled (to taste)
- Ice cubes (crushed or whole)
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the fresh hallabong.
Step 2
Gently rub the fruit with your hands to remove any dirt or residue from the peel. Washing thoroughly ensures you can enjoy it without worry.
Step 3
Carefully peel the clean hallabong.
Step 4
Using scissors, trim off the very top and bottom ends of the hallabong.
Step 5
Starting from the cut ends, gently peel the skin outwards into sections. Be careful not to mash the delicate fruit segments.
Step 6
Once peeled, carefully separate the hallabong segments, keeping the pulp intact. It’s best to remove any seeds at this stage.
Step 7
Combine the prepared 600g of hallabong pulp with 600g of sugar in a bowl. Stir well until the sugar begins to dissolve. The 1:1 ratio is classic, but feel free to adjust to your preference.
Step 8
Stir until the sugar starts to melt and form a syrupy consistency with the fruit. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least one day to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
Step 9
Your delicious, well-matured hallabong syrup is now ready!
Step 10
Add a few fresh mint sprigs to your serving glass for a beautiful garnish.
Step 11
Fill the glass about two-thirds full with chilled sparkling water.
Step 12
Add your preferred amount of ice – either crushed or whole cubes – for a refreshing chill.
Step 13
Voilà! Your homemade hallabong ade, a perfect cafe-style drink, is ready to be enjoyed. So refreshing and sweet!
Step 14
The unique fragrant aroma and delightful sweetness of hallabong will fill your mouth, offering a truly invigorating and pleasant taste experience.
Step 15
While it’s wonderful as a cold ade, pouring hot water over the syrup also makes a delicious and comforting hallabong tea, perfect for cooler weather!
Step 16
Enjoy your homemade hallabong ade and have a wonderful, tasty day!
