You can drink coconut water from a coconut by inserting a straw into a hole or pouring it into a glass.
Methods for Drinking Coconut Water
Here's a breakdown of how to access that refreshing coconut water:
1. The Straw Method
- Direct Access: The simplest method is to poke a hole in the young coconut and insert a straw directly into the opening.
- Enjoy: Once the straw is in place, you can drink the coconut water straight from the source.
- Convenient: This is a quick and easy method if you are ready to drink and only need to make the access hole.
2. The Pouring Method
- Prepare: Place a glass upside down over the opening of the coconut.
- Invert: Quickly flip the glass and the coconut together so the coconut is now on top and the glass on the bottom.
- Drain: The coconut water will drain from the coconut into the glass.
- Serve: Now you can drink from the glass.
- Practical: This method is useful if you prefer to drink from a glass rather than directly from a straw.
Additional Information
A young coconut typically contains about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of slightly sweet and floral tasting water.
