The best part about this recipe is that it uses the part of the feijoa usually discarded – the skins! You'll need to make it a few days ahead of time for best results.
You will need:
- Feijoa skins
- A large clean container
- Water
- 3 - 4 tbsp white sugar
To make:
- Fill the container with feijoa skins, add half the sugar then cover with water
- Press the fruit down (you might need a weight) ensuring they're completely covered. It's important the fruit isn't exposed to air while its fermenting.
- Cover the container with a tea towel and leave on your kitchen bench for 2 - 3 days.
- Strain the liquid into a bottle or jar, then stir in the remaining sugar.
- Seal tightly with a lid & refridgerate for another day.
Serving suggestions:
- Serve in a tall glass with ice & a splash of vodka or gin. Add a squeeze of lime & soda water to taste.
- Add a couple of tablespoons of the liquid in a flute, Top with prosecco or sparkling wine.
- In a shaker, add vodka & elderflower liqueur with ice and shake well. Strain into a martini glass, top with Feijoa Fizz & garnish with an apple slice.
