Ingredients
- 100 grams Sago (small pearls)
- 1 liter Water
- 1 medium-sized Honeydew melon
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 100 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 pieces Ice cubes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
1. Rinse the sago under cold water to remove any excess starch.
Step 2
2. Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Gradually add the sago, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
Step 3
3. Cook the sago for about 15 minutes, or until the pearls turn translucent. Stir occasionally to avoid clumping.
Step 4
4. Once the sago is cooked, drain it through a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water to cool and remove excess starch. Set aside.

Step 6

Step 7
7. Add the cooked sago and honeydew melon balls (or cubes) to the coconut milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
