# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like something you'd order at a fancy beach cafe but takes literally five minutes
  • The coconut water turns ordinary berries into something magical and refreshing
  • You'll feel virtuous eating something this vibrant and colorful
02 -
  • The berries need to be completely dry before adding the liquid or your coconut water will taste diluted
  • Everything must be served cold straight from the fridge because room temperature coconut water is not the same experience
  • Eat this immediately because the longer it sits, the more the fruit breaks down
03 -
  • Buy berries when they're on sale and freeze extras for later, though frozen berries don't work as well in this recipe
  • The best coconut water I've found is from young coconuts you crack yourself, but store bought works perfectly fine
