Stinky toe fruit

Stinking Toe Juice is a traditional Caribbean beverage made from the pulp of the stinking toe fruit, known for its pungent aroma but sweet taste. Despite its name, this drink is cherished for its unique flavor and is often used in folk medicine to alleviate headaches and rheumatism.

1. Blend the pulp of the stinking toes with the water until smooth.
2. Add the brown sugar and nutmeg to the mixture and blend briefly to combine.
3. Serve over ice or chilled.

Notes
