Iced coconut water americano

Kip

Coconut water, the clearly and naturally occuring liquid inside of immature green coconuts, has a mildly sweet and subtly nutty flavour with an slight saline quality. Pairing it with cold brew coffee or espresso is popular in Thailand, and once you try this iced coconut water americano you'll see why.

Like many of my other iced drink recipes, this iced coconut water americano is easy and comes together quickly. Simply fill a glass with ice, add coconut water, and top with espresso.

When selecting coconut water, look for varieties that are as close to 100% coconut water as possible, without added sweetening agents. I'm not against surplus sugar, but when I see it listed as a coconut water ingredient I tend to think it's a lower quality product using further ingredients to "fix" the flavour.
