Pineapple Tizana

Venezuelan Tizana Recipe

Ingredients:

Pineapple; cantelope; watermelon; grapes (cut in half or quarters); mango; red and green apples; banana ... (any other fruit that you would like to add)

Red creaming soda or grenadine.

Peel and cut all the fruit into tiny pieces (about 1cm). Start with the fruit that won’t discolour like cantaloupe, watermelon, and pineapple. Use the pineapple juice or lemon juice to keep the apples and bananas from browning.

Mix all the fruit except the banana in a large bowl or pitcher. Add the banana right before serving.

Add red creaming soda to the drink and serve. Only add the drink to the fruit that you can eat that day. Save the rest of the fruit for later and add soda when you want to eat it. You could serve fruit to individual cups and let people add soda individually as well.
