做法
- 用锤子或在硬物上敲开木苹果——外壳极硬。果肉呈棕色、黏稠、纤维感强,带有近似发酵奶酪的浓郁气味,初闻可能不易接受,但越吃越上瘾。
- 用勺子挖出全部果肉,连籽带纤维都要。外壳丢弃。
- 把果肉放入搅拌机,加 500 毫升冷水和棕榈糖。打 60 秒至均匀。会成为浓稠的棕色果泥。
- 用细筛过滤入水壶,用勺背用力压渣以挤出每一滴汁。籽和纤维丢弃。
- 加入剩下的 500 毫升冷水、青柠汁、盐和(若用)姜汁。尝味——应当先尖锐酸,再回甜,盐把味道托起,姜把它磨利。
- 冷藏至少 30 分钟。倒入加冰高玻璃杯。木苹果汁那种发酵酸甜的独特个性,需要时间适应——第一次喝的人多半不喜欢,第二次喝的人就会主动找。

文化背景
木苹果(divul)是斯里兰卡最具个性的本土水果之一——硬壳、热带、果肉风味浓烈。阿育吠陀认为这种果汁能为身体降温、有助消化;斯里兰卡人尤其在炎热干季饮用。它也能做出色的果酱,在传统料理中也有用途。木苹果几乎没有商业出口,海外斯里兰卡人多半要等回家才喝得到。这是一道两极的味道:从小吃到大的人爱不释手,第一次喝的人则需要被劝着才行。
