Let me talk about how to prepare the best refreshing drink in the world . Lulada is a traditional juice from a part of Colombia . Some countries such as the United States have tried to make modifications to the lulo so that it can adapt to other climates but the flavor and properties of this exotic Andean fruit change . Therefore , Latin American countries have the privilege to have this fruit in its more natural way , so take advantage of it . I love its flavor because it ’ s sweet and at the same time sour . This juice is very easy to make . You will need lulo or naranjilla ( exotic fruit ), water , white sugar , ice , condensed milk , and lemons . First , you peel all the lulos because they have little spines on their skin .

Then chop the Lulo into little pieces . Next , you put the middle in a glass and the rest in the mixer with water , lemon juice , and white sugar and mix . After that , garnish or decorate the glass cup with ice and condensed milk into the glass and cut the lulo into thin slices . Finally , you mix all the ingredients in the 2nd and 3rd steps and enjoy it with a straw and spoon . This is a recommendation for Summer . It ’ s a super fresh drink .
