  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fresh young Thai coconuts (Nam Hom variety)
  • 1 fine-mesh strainer
  • 1 glass jar or bottle

Instructions

  • Open the coconut: Locate the soft spot on top of the coconut and pierce it using a sharp knife or coconut opener.
  • Extract the water: Pour the coconut water through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar to remove any pulp.
  • Let it oxidize: Leave the water exposed to air for 10-20 minutes until it turns pink.
  • Store properly: Transfer the pink coconut water to a glass bottle and refrigerate immediately to maintain freshness.
  • Enjoy! Serve chilled or use in refreshing drinks like a Pink Coconut Mojito.

Notes

  • Best coconuts: Use young Thai coconuts for the most vibrant pink color.
  • Storage tip: Refrigerate and consume within 2-3 days for the best taste.
  • Pink color: If your coconut water doesn’t turn pink, it may be due to low polyphenol content or improper storage.
