Preparing the bags

Okay, now that we are on the same page with what this frozen treat is, let's get right into make them.

My version is unrefined, no shade on the original version because I once use to have those but I want to take a more health conscious position yet adhere to my cultural comforts.

What I like to do is use fruit juice as opposed to juicing fresh fruit because it is much more pratical and widely accessible aside from the guava which is made from my homemade version of

• Pour the guava, coconut water, lime juice and sea moss in a large jug/pitcher.
• Whisk the ingredients to ensure the juice is of a smooth consistency.
• Place the clear bag inside of a cup so the top of the bag is folded over the trim of the cup.

• Fill the bag by about ¾ so there is enough room to tie the bag.
• Remove the bag from the cup and twist the top and tie it tightly in a knot.
• Repeat this step with the remaining juice.
• Place the bags in the freezer to freeze.
• Once frozen enjoy!
