Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare fresh tropical fruits displayed at a night market juice stand (Guo Zhi Tan).
- [Basic Golden Ratio] The most important base is 'Banana (Xiangjiao)' and 'Papaya (Mugua)'. These give the juice a rich thickness and strong sweetness.
- Add bite-sized pieces of 'Pineapple (Fengli)' for acidity, and 'Watermelon (Xigua)' or 'Guava (Bale)' for moisture and freshness into the blender.
- Add fresh milk, plenty of ice, and a little honey (or sugar).
- Blend on high until fruit shapes completely disappear and it becomes smooth like a smoothie.
- Pour to the brim in a cup, serve with a thick straw.

Trivia
[For Everyone] Similar to Japan's 'Osaka Mixed Juice', but Taiwan's has an overwhelmingly stronger tropical feel due to papaya and guava. The ratio varies by shop, so the slightly changing taste every time is part of the night market fun. A vitamin-packed energy drink.
