Coconut milk

Coconut milk is an opaque, milky-white liquid extracted from the grated pulp of mature coconuts. the opacity and rich taste of coconut milk are due to its high oil content, most of which is saturated fat. coconut milk is a traditional food ingredient used in southeast asia, oceania, south asia, and east africa. it is also used for cooking in the caribbean, tropical latin america, and west africa, where coconuts were introduced during the colonial era. coconut milk is differentiated into subtypes based on fat content. they can be generalized into coconut cream (or thick coconut milk) with the highest amount of fat; coconut milk (or thin coconut milk) with a maximum of around 20% fat; and coconut skim milk with negligible amounts of fat. this terminology is not always followed in commercial coconut milk sold in western countries.coconut milk can also be used to produce milk substitutes (differentiated as "coconut milk beverages"). these products are not the same as regular coconut milk products which are meant for cooking, not drinking. a sweetened, processed, coconut milk product from puerto rico is also known as cream of coconut. it is used in many desserts and beverages like the piña colada, though it should not be confused with coconut cream.

Drink

Fruit juice

Juice is a drink made from the extraction or pressing of the natural liquid contained in fruit and vegetables. it can also refer to liquids that are flavored with concentrate or other biological food sources, such as meat or seafood, such as clam juice. juice is commonly consumed as a beverage or used as an ingredient or flavoring in foods or other beverages, as for smoothies. juice emerged as a popular beverage choice after the development of pasteurization methods enabled its preservation without using fermentation (which is used in wine production). the largest fruit juice consumers are new zealand (nearly a cup, or 8 ounces, each day) and colombia (more than three quarters of a cup each day). fruit juice consumption on average increases with country income level.

Drink

Ginger beer

Traditional ginger beer is a sweetened and carbonated, usually non-alcoholic beverage. historically it was produced by the natural fermentation of prepared ginger spice, yeast and sugar. current ginger beers are often manufactured rather than brewed, frequently with flavour and colour additives, with artificial carbonation. ginger ales are not brewed. ginger beer's origins date from the colonial spice trade with the orient and the sugar-producing islands of the caribbean. it was popular in britain and its colonies from the 18th century. other spices were variously added and any alcohol content was limited to 2% by excise tax laws in 1855. few brewers have maintained an alcoholic product.ginger beer is still produced at home using a symbiotic colony of yeast and a lactobacillus (bacteria) known as a "ginger beer plant" or from a "ginger bug" starter created from fermenting ginger, sugar, and water.

Long black

A long black is a style of coffee commonly found in australia and new zealand. it is similar to an americano, but with a stronger aroma and taste.a long black is made by pouring a double-shot of espresso or ristretto over hot water. typically about 100 - 120 milliliters of water is used (3.5 - 4 ounces) but the measurement is considered to be flexible to individual taste. the smaller volume of water compared to an americano is responsible for its stronger taste. both retain the crema when brewed properly, though in the long black the crema will be more pronounced.

Drink

Palm wine
