More about Coconut Water

Our younger children are continually getting these tetra paks of coconut water and bringing them to us to open and drink.  The children drink them like other American children might drink fruit juice, Hi-C, or Kool-Aid.  However, rather than having a sugar laden, food colored, artificially flavored drink, they are getting a natural delicious water from the inside of a coconut! 

Please check out the instructions below to find out how to make coconut kefir with this water.  Like Sally Fallon's fermented punch, coconut kefir is a great probiotic drink.  It is really a wonderful coconut product that tastes like a margarita, if you add a twist of lime and a little stevia, or "Coconut Dew" if you just drink it like it is.

How to culture coconut water to make coconut kefir: 

Take 1 Liter of coconut water (you may use the coconut water from these tetra paks or fresh water from young coconuts. (If you use the 250 ml tetra paks it will take 4 to make a liter of water.)  Add 1 packet of kefir starterand place lid on jar.  It will now take 4-5 days for the kefir to culture at room temperature.  The coconut water will become cloudy as the culture grows and it will become "fizzy".  When the culture is done, add a twist of lime and a little stevia or organic sweetener of your choice.  Then sit down and enjoy!.
