Ingredients

  • 1 cup sago
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups frozen strawberries slightly defrosted
  • 3 cups ice

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot half full of water and bring to a boil. Add the sago and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sago is translucent. Drain off the excess water.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the sago, ¼ teaspoon salt, coconut milk, 3 tablespoons sugar and ½ cup water. Let cool until room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.

  3. When you're ready to serve, make the strawberry slush. To a blender, add the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, remaining 1 ½ cups water, strawberries and ice. Blend until the strawberries are broken down (it's okay if there are still a few small nuggets of ice left).

  4. Fill six glasses or bowls each ⅓ full with the coconut sago, then top with the slush. Serve immediately so the slush doesn't melt, and give it a stir before enjoying.
