Do it Yourself - Sawine

 The Beauty of Being a Trinidadian!

No matter your religion or your belief, we celebrate all holidays. We eat each other foods and enjoy a bounty of holidays which shows our country's diversity.

Sawine or Sewine is something we Trini's know and traditionally have when Muslims end the month of Ramadan (a month of fasting).

Sawine has been one of my personal favourites that everyone has a different way of cooking as well as eating.

It is a milk based desert, of vermicelli and spices. I would highly recommend forgetting your diet and use condensed milk. Some people like Sawine, hot. Others prefer it cold and with different toppings.

Below shows the ingredients for toppings, and in Trinidad groceries Sawine packs are created for ease of use to create this delicious desert. It is one of the easiest deserts to create.

Parched Vermicelli and Toppings of cherries, raisins, walnuts and almonds
