I've been
seeing how coconut water is becoming popular.
But when I've tried it neat, the taste is not all that great. So I was looking for a way to use it that
tasted better. I was partially
successful. It was drinkable but I did
notice that my colleagues who were guinea pigs for me, didn't finish their
glasses which told me something.
Next time
I'd halve the amount of coconut water and added more water, and lemon juice.
Ingredients
as I did it:
Bottle of
coconut water
Ginger
infused water (a cold version of my ginger tea)
Chopped
mint
Mango
slices – from a tin – fresh would have been much better
Splash of
lemon juice
I stored
the mixture in the fridge overnight to let the flavours meld.
How do you
use coconut water?
I have
always enjoyed her book reviews and have found many great books through her
blog. If you would like to check Mary's

I've only recently become addicted to drinking coconut water, but I'll readily admit that it does taste rather plain by itself. Your recipe for making coconut water taste better sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI also follow Moonshine & Rosefire as well. :-)
I forgot to add that I am thinking about using coconut water to make coconut water kefir as I've heard that kefir is good at aiding/healing digestive issues.
ReplyDeleteHello Carole,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for highlighting my blog for the month. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog as well.
I have tried different brands of coconut water and while there are a few I don't like at all, I have a couple of favourites that taste great just plain, chilled. Grace (unsweetened) is my usual pick.
ReplyDeleteExcept for lemonade in the summer every now and then, I realize I almost never fix a special drink unless it's a cocktail! Mostly I just drink water, and I've never tried drinking coconut water. Interesting to hear about your experimentation! I enjoyed checking out your blog of the month, too!
