How to choose fresh and delicious coconut

For delicious coconut, you should choose fruits that are medium or large in size. Avoid buying oversized or small fruits, as oversized fruits usually contain a lot of water while small fruits are harvested early, resulting in less coconut meat.
When shaking the coconut, you should hear a soft sound or no sound at all. This is a sign that the fruit has been harvested at the right time, the water inside has thickened, so the sound produced is often soft or absent, and there is more meat, which is chewier and tastier.
A coconut will feel very light when held because the water inside has thickened. This also proves that the lighter the coconut, the more meat it has inside and the tastier it is.

How to make Coconut Coffee Smoothie

1

Prepare the ingredients

Use a knife or machete to cut the coconut in half. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and remove the shell.

Brew coffee, extract the essence

First, add 25 grams of coffee powder into the coffee filter and then place the float inside.

To brew the coffee, pour 10ml of boiling water over the float lid, then place the filter on top for 5 – 10 seconds. Next, pour 10ml of boiling water over the coffee surface and let it sit for 5 – 10 seconds.

Finally, pour 50ml of boiling water into the coffee filter you just brewed. Check to see if the float in the filter is tilted. If it is, gently press down with a chopstick and stir around the top of the float, then cover it again. Wait for 5 – 10 minutes to get the coffee essence.
