Instructions
- Use coconut water or If using a ripe coconut use this method: (Inspect a ripe coconut: at one end you will see three dark round dots called “eyes”. One of these eyes is usually softer than the others – it is through it that it is easiest to get to the liquid inside. Take a clean, sharp object – for example, a corkscrew, a screwdriver or a metal skewer – and carefully pierce the soft eye. For better drainage of liquid, it is worth making not one, but two holes – one for drainage, the other for air ventilation. Turn the coconut upside down over a glass or jar and let the water drain. Mature coconuts don’t have as much water as young coconuts, but they still have enough to use in drinks, smoothies, or desserts.)
