The recipe calls for all ingredients to be fresh, like making your own coconut milk - very time consuming and fresh coconuts are hard to come by. Posted for ZWT 7 and sourced from http://panipopos.blogspot.com

Equipment
Large bowl, fork or spoon, spoon, tall glasses
Ingredients
- 1 medium watermelon
- 50 g coconut, grated
- 500 ml coconut milk
- 1 liter water
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 500 g crushed pineapple
- sugar (to taste)
- ice cube, for serving
Instructions
Use a fork or spoon to scrape out the watermelon flesh into a large bowl. Catch the juice too, so you end up with a chunky kind of slush. Remove seeds with a spoon.
Add everything else, except for the sugar and ice, and mix well. As with the vaifala, mix and taste, dilute and sweeten, until you have the taste you like.
Chill and serve over ice, in a tall glass with a spoon. And be sure to stir it well before you present it, just so the fruit is well-distributed and the coconut milk is incorporated.
