This afternoon when I came home from work, I was not in a good mood, this was because the hot weather burned my skin and made the neuron cells in my brain rebel against the heat wave. Today the weather is very hot, especially when I ride a motorbike to and from work, when in the morning I can enjoy the beautiful scenery, but when I come home from work in the afternoon, riding a motorbike makes me hot. I opened the fridge, wanted to make fruit juice to reduce body heat, but I only found a piece of papaya. My brain thought hard "what should I do with this papaya?" I also found a few packets of powdered cappuccino drink and I'm planning to make an iced papaya cappuccino so my body can withstand today's heat wave.
If I don't process the papaya into a fresh drink, then this papaya which is only a piece will run out quickly, but if I process it with a capuccino drink it will produce a fresh drink that is more delicious and certainly fresher because there is cold ice water.
Ripe papaya fruit has a soft texture and of course it tastes sweet and refreshing with a little water. Therefore, making a fresh drink from cappuccino and papaya is an alternative to relieve the heat today, because these two ingredients are in the house today. I have to be creative in making fresh drinks from improvised ingredients, namely Papaya and cappuccino.
The ingredients I use are:
1 piece of ripe papaya
1 pack of cappuccino drink powder
200 mL of hot water
200 mL of ice water
1 glass of ice cubes
The way I make papaya ice cappuccino is :
1.Put the cappuccino powder into a glass of hot water, then stir until the cappuccino powder dissolves and there are no lumps. I use hot water to dissolve the cappuccino powder so that the powder is "cooked" and doesn't cause flatulence, if I dissolve the cappuccino powder with plain water then I will have a stomach ache, I've experienced this when I made a capuccino drink using plain water.
After all the powder is dissolved, let it warm up or close to room temperature.
2.Cut the papaya into smaller sizes, then put it in a serving glass.
3.Put ice water into a serving glass containing papaya pieces.
4.Add a few pieces of ice cubes into a serving glass. This will make the papaya fresher.
5.Pour the capuccino drink that has been warm / close to room temperature into a serving glass, stir until well mixed.
6.Because I mixed the still warm cappuccino into the serving glass, the freshness of the papaya was reduced, so I added ice cubes to fill the serving glass and made the Papaya capuccino drink fresher.
The delicious ice cappuccino Papaya, drunk when the weather is hot, the Papaya will neutralize the heat in the body so that the body becomes fresh again.
