Prepare the Lulo: Carefully peel the fuzzy outer skin from the lulo fruits. Cut the fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a blender. You should have about 2 cups of lulo pulp. Reserve a few small pieces of the lulo pulp for garnish if desired.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Blend the Lulo: Add the lulo pulp to the blender. Add the granulated sugar and 1 cup of the cold water. Pulse the blender a few times until the lulo is broken down but still has some texture; avoid blending it completely smooth. The mixture should be thick and slightly pulpy.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Add the remaining 1 cup of cold water to the blender and pulse briefly to combine. Taste the mixture and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter, blending for a few more seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired consistency.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Serve: Fill serving glasses generously with crushed or cubed ice. Pour the lulada mixture over the ice. If reserved, add a few small pieces of lulo pulp to each glass for visual appeal and texture.
