Draining coconut water before opening it

To get the yummy coconut juice you have to drain this before breaking the coconut. I always drain it before opening coconut because i love to drink it. Here are some methods to drain coconut water.

Using screw driver

  1. Take the coconut and place it on non slippery, hard surface.
  2. Now you see three eyes on coconut. One of them is softer than the other two, find it.
  3. Using a screw driver poke the softer eye. If you find difficult to open that eye just only with the help of screw driver you can use hammer along.
  4. After opening the eye drain the coconut water in a bowl or cup. And that’s a tasty and healthy drink.

Using driller

Just take the driller and drill eyes of the coconut. And then pour the coconut juice in a bowl.
