Generally cocoa trees are grown in West Africa, South America and South Asia. Pods are grows directly from the trunk or large branch in tree like jackfruit. Cocoa pod is rough and leathery rind. This fruit filled with mild sweet and white layered or mucilaginous pulp inside. Cocoa is key ingredient for preparing chocolates.
From the cocoa pods, remove all white layered cocoa beans and transfer to a bowl. Add enough water and squeeze well for squash. While squeezing it will releases all white layered pulp. I have collected all the squash in another bowl by sieving it. In a glass half fill with cocoa fruit squash, powdered sugar sweetness, pinch of salt for taste, lemon slices for sourness. Later fill it with normal water and ice cubes.
