Description

Young man filling my cup with Buko juice (coconut Juice) on a recent trip to the Philippines. Very good, (as my young grandson would say!)

Coconut water is a very refreshing and healthy drink, it contains a lot of electrolytes, and minerals to replenish hydration levels in the body that’s why it can be used as an energy drink, liquid replacement for people suffering diarrhoea and even as an intravenous fluid (This is sometimes used by developing nations). Another benefit for drinking coconut water is it has anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic properties, it also has better composition of minerals like calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc than other fruits.

So if you want some refreshing drink during summer I guess nothing will beat this, it will definitely quench your thirst compared to the unhealthy commercially available fizzy drinks.

Ingredients:
Juice from 3 fresh young coconuts
Coconut meat from 3 fresh young coconuts
3 tbsp condensed milk
ice cubes

Method

Open coconuts on top by boring a small hole to extract the liquid, place coconut water in a large pitcher.
Add condensed milk into the pitcher then mix until totally dissolved.
Open the coconuts in half then using a fork score the young coconut meat before removing it with a spoon (this will easily make it into strips, in the Philippines we have a tool for it similar to melon scraper), place coconut meat in the coconut water mixture, place ice cubes then serve.
