Ingredients

🥜 227g Raw Peanuts with Skin (No specific brand visible)
💧 1.5 - 2 liters Water (No specific brand visible)
🌿 2 Cinnamon Sticks (No specific brand visible)
🌱 3 Cloves (No specific brand visible)
🍚 200g White Sugar (No specific brand visible)
🥥 1-2 tablespoons Grated Coconut, for garnish (No specific brand visible)
🧊 Ice, optional, for serving

Instructions

1- Prepare Spiced Water:

In a large pot, bring 1.5 - 2 liters of water to a boil. Add the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
Simmer to infuse the flavors.

2- Roast Peanuts:

In a separate frying pan or skillet, toast the peanuts over medium heat.
Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until they are golden brown and the skins crack.
Be careful not to burn them.

3- Cool and Peel Peanuts:

After roasting, allow the peanuts to cool completely.
Rub the peanuts between your hands to remove the skins, which should easily peel off.
Discard the skins.

4- Blend Peanuts:

Place the peeled peanuts into the Osterizer Cycle Blend 10 blender.
Add enough cooled spiced water to cover the peanuts.
Blend until smooth and creamy.

5- Cook Peanut Paste:

Pour the blended peanut paste into a frying pan.
Rinse the blender with some water to ensure all of the mixture is used.
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the paste thickens and natural oils separate.

6- Combine and Sweeten:

Mix the cooked peanut paste with the remaining spiced water in the large pot.
Stir until well combined and bring to a boil.
Add sugar to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.

7- Cool and Serve:

Allow the drink to cool completely.
Serve it chilled in a glass pitcher, garnishing with grated coconut and, if desired, adding ice for an extra refresh.
