Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Fresh coconut
- 1 (young green coconut)
- Straw
- 1 (for sipping)
Instructions
- Select a fresh green coconut; younger coconuts are ideal for their sweeter and more delicate water.
- Thoroughly clean the outside of the coconut to remove any dirt or debris.
- Locate the three 'eyes' on one end of the coconut; these are the softer spots where you can puncture it.
- Using a clean screwdriver and a hammer, carefully puncture two of the eyes to create holes.
- Invert the coconut over a glass or bowl to let the coconut water drain out completely.
- Optionally, strain the coconut water through a fine mesh sieve to remove any bits of shell or pulp for a smoother texture.
- Insert a straw into one of the holes and enjoy your fresh coconut water directly from the coconut for the ultimate tropical experience!
