Ingredients: 1 old coconut, appropriate amount of glutinous rice (depending on the size of coconut), a little sugar, appropriate amount of coconut milk and milk, medlar, sesame and so on. Add according to personal preference.

Practice: 1. Take a proper amount of glutinous rice (as long as it can hold coconuts) and soak it in coconut milk and milk for one night.

2. Cut the coconut into small mouths with a chopper, pour out all the coconut juice for later use, and then cut out a slightly larger mouth.

3. Pour the soaked glutinous rice into the coconut and fill the whole coconut, leaving only a little space, so that the glutinous rice will not be loose. You can add medlar and sesame seeds.

4. Pour in coconut juice, just before the glutinous rice, sprinkle a little sugar and mix well (if the rice is soaked for a long time, put less coconut juice).

5. Cover the coconut mouth with tin foil or plastic wrap, and it is best to press it with something else.

6. Put the coconut on the shelf in the container and steam it in a pot. After the fire is boiled, turn to low heat and steam for two to three hours until it is cooked.

7. After the coconut is not hot, cut a slit along the edge of the coconut shell, and then open it to reveal the complete coconut meat.

Selection method of coconut

1. Choose coconut varieties according to your preference.

There are two kinds of coconuts, namely green coconuts and yellow coconuts (also called golden coconuts). Green coconut is more suitable for drinking water, while yellow coconut is more suitable for eating coconut meat, squeezing coconut oil, stewing coconut rice or making coconut sauce. The water of green coconut is cooler and sweeter. Drinking fresh green coconut water in summer will make you feel extremely cool. If you want to drink water, it is recommended to choose green coconut.

Step 2 choose the time to eat coconuts

The feeling of drinking coconut water is different at different times. It is said that coconuts picked at noon 12 will be sweet at 2 pm. In other words, the suitable time to drink coconut water is from 12 noon to 2 pm.

Step 3 pay attention to the color of coconut milk

Fresh coconut juice is milky white, thick, oily and fragrant. Deteriorated coconut juice has a strong sour taste, and the juice is solidified, which is not suitable for eating. Coconut juice goes bad easily, so pay special attention when buying it! The variety is fresh and tender, and the top is triangular and slightly solid. If you feel soft when you press it, it means that the fruit is too ripe and tastes much worse.
