Method
- Cooking Tip: Prepare the sugar water in advance and have it waiting in the fridge. That way you won't have to wait for the sugar water to cool when you are ready to have your refreshing drink.
- Make the sugar water. Place the white sugar and water into a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the water to the boil. Remove from heat and transfer into a container. Place in the fridge or freezer to cool. While the sugar water cools, cube the pineapple.
- Place the coconut milk, sugar water, frozen banana, vanilla essence, and cubed pineapple in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Place a few pieces of cubed pineapple with some crushed ice into four glasses. Divide the mixture between the glasses. Garnish with fresh mint and cubed pineapple pieces if desired.
- Serve immediately.
