Mombasa

Have you noticed how sweet the pineapples are these days? Its as though someone sprinkled sugar on them. With the hot blazing sun in Mombasa and sweet pineapples, I had to make this super cooling drink. Did you know that besides coconut water being a natural coolant, mint too helps to cool down the body? Go on try this drink out before the pineapple season ends. All those in Nairobi I hear you get fresh coconuts at Diamond Plaza.
