Equipment

  • 1 bowl
  • 1 spoon

Ingredients

  • ½ cup garri
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • ice
  • 2 tablespoons groundnut or roasted peanuts optional garnish
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut chips optional garnish

Instructions

  • Add garri to bowl then pour in water, ensuring garri is completely covered in water by at least one inch or two.
  • Stir in sugar to taste and sea salt then add ice and desired garnishes.

Notes

Preparation
Because garri soaks up liquid, I don't recommend making it in advance. This is a quick recipe that requires next to no prep so it's best to consume garri right after you make it.
