Coconut Water Coffee Recipe:
Ingredients
There is no thumb rule for the amount of coconut water and coffee to be used. You can choose the amount of both as per your liking. But, if you want to play safe the first time around, follow 1:4 ratio of coffee to coconut water. So, to make 5 glasses of cold brew coconut coffee, take -
1 cup of ground coffee
4 cups of coconut water
Half cup coconut milk (optional)
5 teaspoons of sugar/honey/maple syrup (optional)
Method:
1. If you have whole coffee beans, grind them coarsely to make 1 cup of coffee powder.
2. Pour the coffee powder in a large jar; pour all of the coconut water over it. Stir well. Leave the jar in the fridge for coffee to steep overnight.
3. In the morning, sift the drink through a sieve or muslin cloth to strain out the grinds. Add coconut milk or your choice of sweetener, or skip these steps.
