Coconut Juice

1. Start by making a hole in the coconut and take the water out in a bowl.
2. With the help of a spoon or a scooper, start removing the tender coconut from inside the coconut shell. To get a tender coconut, you will need to talk to the seller about which coconut will be soft on the inside.

Directions

1. In a blender, you will need to add the coconut water, the coconut pulp, and the sugar.
2. Keep blending until the coconut has fully blended in with the coconut water. Since the coconut will be soft, it will not take too much time.
3. Pour the coconut juice into a town and leave it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. When the juice is being served cold, it will taste the best.
4. When serving, pour into serving tumbler glass and add 2 ice cubes.

If you are planning on consuming the drink later, make sure you refrigerate or store it in an insulated water bottle to retain the freshness and temperature.
