Using a hammer, carefully crack open the whole coconut over a bowl to catch the coconut water.
Set aside the coconut water.
Use a coconut tool or a butter knife to carefully pry the coconut meat away from the shell.
Give the coconut meat a quick rinse in a strainer.
Place the rinsed coconut meat, the reserved coconut water, and 4 cups of fresh water into a high-speed blender.
Blend on high speed for about 90 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and slightly lukewarm.
Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth set over a container. Squeeze the bag firmly to extract all the coconut milk.
To make the iced coffee, fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour the fresh coconut milk over the ice.
Top with two shots of freshly brewed espresso.
Store freshly extracted coconut milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Assemble the iced coffee drink fresh to order for best flavor and temperature.
blender · cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
Pierce the coconut's soft eyes, drain the liquid, then crack open the shell. Blend the coconut meat with hot water (approximately 1 part meat to 4 parts water), then strain through cheesecloth or a fine sieve to separate the milk from pulp.
Yes, canned coconut milk works as a convenient substitute, though fresh coconut milk offers superior taste and texture. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest result.
Fresh homemade coconut milk keeps refrigerated for 3-5 days. Store in an airtight container and shake well before each use, as separation is normal.
Any freshly pulled espresso works well. Medium to dark roasts pair nicely with the sweetness of coconut milk, though lighter roasts showcase more complex flavors.
Prepare the coconut milk in advance and store it separately. Pull fresh espresso shots when ready to serve, then combine with chilled coconut milk and ice for optimal flavor and temperature.
