Uwaga (Oo-Wa-Ga - Old Field Apricot Drink)

Gather old field apricots (field apricots are the fruit of the passion flower)

Hull out the seed and pulp, and put on to boil, discarding skins. Add a tiny bit of soda to make the seeds separate from the pulp. Squash out the pulp, straining the mixture through a cloth. Drink hot.
