I Would Die in It

My brother once suggested a fairly creative icebreaker for a workshop I was conducting: “If you could die by drowning in the drink of your choice, what would that drink be?” I immediately responded “Sin tô!” Sin tô is a Vietnamese smoothie consisting of three ingredients: fruit of your choice, ice, and condensed milk. It’s incredibly easy to make but I’ve found that when I use fresh, seasonal fruit, it’s the tastiest thing in the whole world! Lately I’ve been making guava sin tô with the plumpest, creamiest guavas I’ve ever eaten in my leaf, which luckily for me happen to be located in my backyard. Try it, any fruit plus condensed milk. Sin to (though) it may be, you’ll love it!
