How To: Make Cold-Drip Coconut Coffee

About This Recipe
Until recently, I thought that making cold drip coffee required a fancy glass machine, only suited to high-end cafes.
After a few experiments over the past weeks, I discovered how easy it is to infuse coconut water with coffee overnight.
You simply strain away the coffee grinds in the morning and are left with the most delicious, ever-so-slightly sweet and refreshing buzz.
The only ‘fancy’ piece of equipment you will need for this recipe is a nut-milk bag, or failing that, a piece of muslin cloth which you can use to strain the coffee grounds from the coconut water. Let’s get started!


How To Make Cold-Drip Coconut Coffee
You Will Need:
- 1 liter of coconut water
- 1 cup freshly ground coffee beans
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- nut milk bag or large piece of muslin cloth (a.k.a. cheesecloth)
To make:
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl or jar and sit in the fridge over night
- The next morning, drape your nut milk bag or muslin over a large jar and pour the coffee mixture over the top
- Once most of the liquid has gone through the bag, pick it up with two hands and start squeezing! Aim to get as much of the liquid out as possible.
- Don’t throw your coffee grinds away! They make an excellent body scrub mixed with a little coconut oil (another post on this soon).
- Serve on ice in tall glasses with a dash of fresh almond milk and a sweetener if you need. Enjoy!
