Coconut Drink | Agua Fresca de Coco

Drain the coconut water into a glass and set it aside.

Place the coconut in a zip lock bag and crack it open using a hammer or another method.

Remove the coconut meat from the shell and rinse it.

Peel off the brown outer layer from the coconut meat.

Cut the coconut meat into smaller pieces and place them in a blender.

Add about 2 cups of water to the blender with the coconut meat.

Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture using a strainer into a pitcher.

Repeat the blending and straining process one more time with the remaining coconut meat and water, ensuring to press down to extract all the juice.

Add sugar to the strained coconut milk, adjusting the amount to taste (approximately 1.5 tablespoons).

Add about 1/2 cup of milk to the mixture, stirring to combine.

Add ice to the pitcher and stir again.

Refrigerate the coconut drink for at least one hour to chill before serving.
