Hwachae (Korean Fruit Punch)
A refreshing Korean fruit punch made with juicy mixed fruit, strawberry milk and fizzy lemonade. Lightly creamy, sweet and hydrating, this easy hwachae recipe comes together in minutes and can be made to share or as a quick single-serve.
Servings: 4 serves
Ingredients
- 6 cups mixed fruit watermelon, berries, grapes, lychees, diced into 2cm cubes
- 1.5 cups nata de coco coconut jelly, drained
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2.5 cups strawberry milk
- 1.5 cups lemonade Sprite or 7Up
Instructions
- Add the chopped fruit and nata de coco to a large bowl.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Pour over the strawberry milk, followed by the lemonade.
- Gently stir to combine.
- Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
Notes
- Best enjoyed fresh, as the ice will melt and the soda will lose its fizz over time
- Use any fruit you like – watermelon is traditional, but berries, mango and grapes all work well
- Strawberry milk can be substituted with regular milk, banana milk or a mix of milk and condensed milk
- For a single-serve version, simply scale down the ingredients and assemble in a smaller bowl or glass
