Step 1
Using a sharp knife or machete, hack into the top of the coconut about 2 inches from the stem until you expose the white flesh and crack through to the water inside.
Step 2
Poke a hole wide enough for a straw or your mouth near the top and pour or sip the coconut water directly into a glass or cup.
Step 3
Squeeze half a lime into the water and stir in a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
Step 4
Serve ice-cold with a straw, sipping immediately while the water is fresh.
