Thai Young Coconut Drink

Ingredients

• 1 fresh young coconut
• 500 ml water
• ½ cup sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 2 fresh pandan leaves
• Ice cubes for servings

Direction

1. In a medium pot, bring water to boil.
2. Add pandan leaves and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Add a pinch of salt.
4. Carefully cut the top of the coconut and pour coconut water into the pot. Stir and turn off the heat.
5. Use a spoon to scoop coconut meat out of the shells and add it into sweet coconut water.
6. Keep aside and let the coconut water cool down completely. The coconut water will be sweet and fragrant, and it should be a little murky because of the tender coconut meats swimming inside.
7. Serve chill with lots of ice.
