I have a cookbook from my mom simply called "The New Guinea Cookbook". On its worn, time-heavy pages are typed recipes sorted alphabetically including ones for Baked Breadfruit and this one for Passion Fruit Drink. Here's how it's presented (in Courier font) in the book:
PASSION FRUIT DRINK Add lemon juice, sugar and ice water to sieved passion fruit for a refreshing drink.
Below is my version of this simple recipe.

Looks great Shari! I have so many passion fruits at the moment, this comes handy ^^
I have never purchased a passionfruit. Thanks for the push. This sounds so refreshing.
My favourite fruit is definitely raspberry. And when I think 'raspberry', my mind goes back to childhood to our many, many rows of canes and me just 'harvesting and eating', 'harvesting and eating' and barely a berry in the bucket.
I think lemonade is one of the most perfect summer drinks you can have (without alcohol of course). I am definitely going to try this.
I am going to go buy some passion fruit and lemons tomorrow. This sounds like a sumptous summer drink.
I adore passion fruit - it's so summery and smells divine. This lemonade sounds utterly gorgeous!
