Cold Summer Treat

Thirst quenchers are always in demand during summer. In the Philippines, we have this refreshment called “halo-halo” (Filipino term for “mix-mix”) that is enjoyed by townspeople and tourists alike. This is simply a mixture of sweetened bananas, young coconut, purple yams, red beans, cereals and evaporated milk covered with crushed ice and topped with leche flan and ice cream. Halo-halo is always preferred by Filipinos over milkshakes.
