Last week room 8 was so excited hear that we got to make a Tongan drink and food. I did not know the drink until we  got down stairs. These are the recipe milk,green apple,ice, crushed pineapple and mango pulp.


Firstly, room 8 went down in the  baking room and work as a team to make otai . First some girls in room 8 put the ice carefully in the white, big container. Then we add three boxes of dairy milk. After we put the milk in the container some boys peeled the green apple with the peeler.

Finally, we had to tip the crushed pineapple and the mango pulp. Then we mixed the ingredient together and add some brown sugar. We stirred it well with a big spoon after that we put in the fridge left in there until the keke was done.

At last Ms  Tafea made the amazing pani keke and everyone got to enjoy the pani keke and the otai. It was yummy.
