Amazing Sawine Recipe (Non-Dairy Version)

Sawine is a very traditional dish in my family. As a child, every Eid we would wake up to the smell of sawine filling up the house as my mother would be preparing this recipe for breakfast before we head out to Eid prayers.
In Trinidad & Tobago, Sawine is our version of Boeber which is made by the Cape Malays of South Africa. Boeber is a "sweet, milk drink, made with vermicelli, sago, sugar, and flavoured with cardamom, stick cinnamon, and rose water. The drink is traditionally served on the 15th night of Ramadan to celebrate the middle of the fast, for those who have completed the first 15 days of fasting." - Wikipedia
Bieber has origins in Malaysia as it is related to buber lambuk which translates into "special porridge".
Every family has their own special way of preparing sawine. This is a remix of my mother's recipe using almond milk instead of dairy.

Tried this but used half almond milk and half coconut milk. If you leave it overnight it's amazing as a cold dessert the next day. Great recipe.

[@reshmagopaul6113]

I love my sawine to, I does patch mine then add a little bit of water to cook the sawine and lots of milk, I add condensed milk, almonds and spices.

[@eatahfood]

Used to be able to have the lovely milk version but my body can't handle it anymore 😭

[@reshmagopaul6113]

@@eatahfood oh oh so sorry to hear that, but almond milk goes great with it

[@Brogoshi]

I've always been sort of on the fence about sawine, some years i can't have enough and other years i don't want any at all, but i'll definitely be making some myself this year thanks to this.

[@eatahfood]

Thanks for watching. Enjoy! 🙂

[@IrieAndrea]

Ok but who hate sawine? I just wanna talk lolll jk. Looking delishhhh!

[@eatahfood]

Weirdos hate sawine 🤣🤣jk. Thank you! 🙂

[@brendamaximin3364]

Salaam Alaikum.. I love ❤ the Almond milk version. I add fresh and greated ginger, and star aniseed.

[@lylinbest948]

Good night Badawi, so many recipes on sawine in past week but finally a nondairy one. I didn't grow up on sawine but your version looks good. Definitely gonna try,thanks again remain safe.

[@eatahfood]

Hi Lylin, thanks glad you appreciated this version. Hope you try it soon! Stay safe as well

[@annisasquires3307]

Hi cuss ,well for one I remember granny use to boil the spices in a little water before adding the milk and the rest of ingredients ,and she the milk was three different kind that use to be thick and milky ,good job cuss I will enjoy this

[@eatahfood]

Hey cuz! Yeah I remember that too. Her own used to taste real good too. But these days I can't drink milk so I have to find another way to make it but make sure it still tasting good!

[@RomaDass]

Nice, is really mmhmm. I have had it with the dairy and condensed milk for the sweetener. Will try the non dairy. My husband don't do much dairy and not much sweet either. Is true, sawine is personal preference. Will try your recipe.

[@eatahfood]

Thanks Roma, it really is a nice change from the traditional recipe and great for people who might be lactose intolerant

[@seygra20]

Reminds me of rice pudding....not for me

[@kelzs6348]

Covid lockdown made me make sawine by force... I dont regret it at all.. I like mines with raisins,prunes, cherries and almond pieces ..i really like your non dairy version too..😋

[@eatahfood]

Not a bad side effect of the lockdown 😂 all those additions are 🔥💯

[@mellybgr316]

This is a boss receipe

[@eatahfood]

Thank you

[@mellybgr316]

@@eatahfood the milk soaked up when it got cold. Should I add more almond milk and boil over?

[@eatahfood]

You can just add a batch of the sawine mixture to the freshly boiled milk. You can also use the thickened sawine to make several batches of fresh ones by just adding more milk

[@yasmeensurjan5715]

I agree wit all what u say not too sweet

[@crystalphillip6302]

Nice

[@afiyafrancis8338]

Definitely trying this!

[@eatahfood]

it real naice!

[@leannahalexis7266]

Since transitioning from a meat-eater to a vegetarian, I've been searching for new /innovative ways to cook and enjoy some of my favourite meals (sawine is one of them), Thanks Badawi! Probably you can try a veggie samosa in the near future? 😊

[@_amatullahxali_]

ohhhhhh i love sawine oh and ramadan mubarak happy last ten days!!!

[@C.Radulescu]

That looks great. I have to try it sometime.

[@stefib]

I like mines COLD 😋😋😋💜💜💜 (With no additions , no nuts, raisins etc, just milk spices & vermicelli)

[@eatahfood]

Niceeeee!

[@saritaali1435]

Delicious! Thought I was the only one who doesn't like condensed milk in sawine. I always found all these spices marry better with Almond Milk.

[@eatahfood]

Thanks! It really did come together well.

[@ImtiazBarrat]

Anybody tried making it with coconut milk?

[@eatahfood]

Yep! Tastes really good as well

[@ImtiazBarrat]
