Sawine is a Trini dessert that is traditionally prepared on Eid ul fitr, a Muslim holiday. It is made with vermicelli noodles, almonds, sugar, milk, cinnamon, and raisins. The vermicelli are first parched until golden brown, then cooked in milk until the concoction thickens.

Other ingredients are then mixed in the pot, and sawine is ready for consumption. This festive dessert can be served hot, cold, or at room temperature.
