Of course, everyone has seen a mysterious southern nut called coconut on store shelves. In various travel shows, you can see the main character drinking coconut milk, or using a beautiful nut shell as a cocktail glass. You've probably wondered what this mysterious nut tastes like. Dry coconut flakes don't count. Today we will find out!
The first question that comes to mind after purchasing this nut is “How to break a coconut?” First of all, I'll say that we won't foolishly hit it with a hammer and wait for it to break.
Let's start cutting the coconut
The first step in the unequal fight against coconut is the selection of suitable tools:- 1. Hammer.
- 2. Old knife.
- 3. Screwdriver.
The second step is to extract the milk from the coconut.
As you noticed, there are three black dots on the top of the coconut. It is in these places that we will make holes with a screwdriver.
Choose two points that are easier to overcome. You need to make two holes: one for drinking and the other for the coconut to fill the air.
Insert a cocktail straw into one of the holes made and enjoy the taste of milk (it resembles sweet water with a slight coconut flavor).
In the third step we will get to the coconut meat.
To do this, we need to remove the shell after breaking it. We mark the line of the intended split and make several blows on it with a hammer on the knife, turning the nut in a circle.
A crack appears.
Lightly tapping in a circle with a hammer, break off part of the shell.
A few more light blows and the coconut is removed.
Enjoy your tasting!
