Begin by examining the three eyes of the coconut to find the softest one. Typically, one of them will be slightly softer than the others.
Press into the eyes with your thumb or a blunt object like the back of a wooden spoon. You’re trying to puncture through the softest one.
2. Drain the Coconut Water:
Once you’ve punctured the eye, hold the coconut over a glass or bowl and let the water drain out. You might need to shake it a bit to get all the water out. This refreshing water is not only tasty but also packed with electrolytes.
3. Creating a Fault Line:
After draining the water, you’ll need to create a fault line around the middle of the coconut. This can be done by repeatedly tapping along the coconut’s equator with a blunt stone. Rotate the coconut as you tap, and eventually, you’ll start to see a crack forming.
4. Splitting the Coconut Open:
Continue tapping around the same line until the coconut naturally splits into two halves. This might take a few minutes, so patience is key!
