Step 1
Hold the coconut upright and use a sharp knife to cut away the top third of the husk in a circular motion until you expose the white shell underneath.
Step 2
Chip through the exposed white shell with the knife tip until water begins to drip, then enlarge the hole to fit a straw.
Step 3
Insert a bamboo or metal straw and sip the water directly from the shell, or pour into a glass with ice.
Step 4
Squeeze lime juice over the top and stir gently before drinking.
