Step 1
Using a sharp knife, whack the top of the young coconut in a circular motion until you expose the soft husk beneath the outer shell.
Step 2
Cut away the exposed husk to reveal the thin white shell underneath, then puncture a hole at the top with the knife tip.
Step 3
Insert the bamboo straw into the hole. The fresh coconut water will flow naturally into your cup or drink directly from the shell.
Step 4
Squeeze lime over the top if desired, add ice to a glass, and pour any remaining water to chill. Sip immediately.
Tools you’ll need
