Instructions
Stepwise Method: Coconut Water
- Gather all your ingredients: distilled water, honey or maple syrup, sea salt, and the water from your coconut.
- Using a coconut opener, carefully crack open your fresh coconut to access the water inside. Pour the coconut water into a measuring cup.
- In your high-speed blender, combine the quart of distilled water, the coconut water, honey or maple syrup (if using), and sea salt. Blend on high until everything is well mixed and smooth.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the mixture through a strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher.
- Transfer your coconut water to a sealed container and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve chilled over ice, or use it as a base in your favorite smoothies or cocktails.
Notes
- Store homemade coconut water in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze coconut water in ice cube trays for longer storage and easy use.
- If the drink is too sweet or salty, adjust by adding more distilled water or coconut water accordingly.
