・A is called B.
・A is made from B.
=====================================

Do you have a favorite drink? I think every one of us has one. I will tell you about my favorite drinks.
My first favorite drink is called “sikwate”. Sikwate is a hot chocolate drink made from tablea, or pure cacao tablets, and sugar. It’s a sweet drink, but if you don’t add sugar, it’s bitter! I wish I could drink sikwate in Japan.
My second favorite drink is called “taho”. Taho is a sweet drink made from silken tofu, sago, or tapioca pearls, and a simple brown sugar syrup. This drink is also sweet. I like it because it’s a warm drink.
My third favorite drink is a mango milkshake. The mango milkshake is made from ripe mangoes, vanilla ice cream, milk, and ice. The ingredients are mixed together in a blender. It is sweet, too. I hope you can try these drinks in the future!
