Iced Citrus Drink with Coconut

Es Jeruk Kelapa

image

Jeruk refers to any variety of citrus but es jeruk is usually either a lime or an orange that can be squeezed quickly in street stalls and mixed with a little sugar and water. For that added textural dimension include some slippery floating slivers of fresh coconut flesh.

4 medium oranges, limes, or lemons
1 cup fresh young coconut flesh
4 Tbs. sugar
ice

  • Combine roughly 1 part fresh-squeeze citrus juice with 4 parts water.
  • Typically a few spoonfuls of sugar are added and let float to the bottom of the glass so that the sweetness can be adjusted with a little stirring.
  • Add the coconut flesh and ice.
