Fresh Buko (Coconut) Juice

They say that the coconut is the “Tree of Life” because almost everything about it is useful for all of us. For me, perhaps the most interesting factor about the coconut tree is that we may consider it as a perfect main ingredient to different food choices and for preparing a refreshing beverage too.

When we talk about a cool and satisfying natural drink, I can say that this is the refreshing Buko (Coconut) Juice. We can actually prepare this kind of natural juice in different versions and it all depends on how we desire to enjoy drinking it.

Like me, I usually prepare this beverage using a fresh coconut and without adding any kind of sweetener. The juice is natural and comes straight from the coconut shell.

If you choose to add a bit of sugar, milk and ice, this is possible as long as you enjoy what you prepared and must taste delicious.

Here is the procedure for Fresh Buko (Coconut) Juice:

Ingredients:

6-8 pieces of coconuts (intended for buko juice with soft meat)

Coconut shredder if available (a spoon can work as well)

A large-sized pitcher

Large knife or Bolo (when opening the coconut)

Ice cubes (right amount of the juice)

1 cup of white sugar (optional)

1 small can of evaporated milk (optional)

Procedure:

Using the Bolo, open all the coconuts individually and make sure to collect the juice in the pitcher. Afterwards, split open the coconuts and use the shredder to remove the meat and include in the collected juice.

When ready, add the milk, sugar and then mix properly and evenly. Be sure to taste the juice and must still taste natural without extreme amount of sweetness. Finally, add the ice cubes and stir gently until it cool and ready to drink.

Serve the refreshing Coconut Juice in the glasses and enjoy with the whole family.

Reminder:

Remember that adding sugar and milk is an optional choice because you can drink the juice naturally if you want. If you have kids, you may need to add the right amount of sugar and milk to meet their satisfaction.
