Serving Tip: in the Iced Apple
Baladin’s suggestion for serving Mela Zen spectacularly:
- Hollow out a fresh apple with a melon baller, leaving the skin intact
- Put the hollowed apple in the freezer for at least 12 hours
- Pour the chilled Mela Zen directly into the frozen apple
- Serve immediately: the drink will stay fresh for a long time thanks to the cold apple
- When the drink is finished, you have a ready snack
A serving method that always surprises guests and turns a drink into an experience.
