Coconut Water - Coconut Juice (Buko Juice)

This Coconut Juice is actually the coconut water from young coconuts.  It is very alkalinizing to the body because it is high in Potassium and contains other alkalinizing minerals like Calcium and Magnesium.  This delicious juice is called Buko Juice in the Philippines and is excellent for replacing electrolytes or rejuvenating the body on a hot summers day.  Try it out on your children for their school lunches or with a mid afternoon snack.  Or take it with you  on those long bike rides.  Enjoy a cold one after a run or mowing the lawn.

More about Coconut Water

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

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 probiotic drink that is extremely healthy.  It is really a wonderful coconut product that tastes like a margarita if you add a twist of lime and a little stevia, or Mountain Dew if you just drink it like it is.

I love to culture the coconut water.  We call this coconut kefir.  When drank with a meal it adds good probiotic flora to help me digest my meal.  When drank in the evening it helps a me to sleep soundly and peacefully.

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 starter and 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 this delicious probiotic drink.  It is alkalinizing, wonderful, and very, very healthy.
